Does the location of an injury effect severity?
The location of the injury can affect the severity of the problems experienced by individuals throughout the course of their recovery, rehabilitation, and lifetime. The brain is a complex part of our neuroanatomy. Controls for physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioural functions are all brain-based. We see few simple injuries. Most are complex and affect more than one aspect of brain-based functions. Certainly specific or “focal” injuries produce specific deficits and problems. The circuitry of the brain is extremely complex.
