Perks of Early Physical Therapy Rehabilitation for a Patient With Diffuse Axonal Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized as any neurological trauma that develops after birth and therefore is completely unconnected from congenital anomalies, developmental disorders, or gradual processes. People who have survived accidents or other severe head injuries that left them with br...

description Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized as any neurological trauma that develops after birth and therefore is completely unconnected from congenital anomalies, developmental disorders, or gradual processes. People who have survived accidents or other severe head injuries that left them with brain damage have been linked to memory loss and disability. On February 9, 2022, a 23-year-old individual was taken to a nearby hospital with a head injury after being involved in a traffic accident that morning while under the influence of alcohol. After several tests, the individual was identified as having a diffuse axonal injury in the anterolateral aspect of the pons, which was confirmed by an MRI and CT scan of the brain. The patient had been managed conservatively with appropriate medications like (tab Zifi® 200mg, tab Epilive® 500mg, tab Strocit plus®, tab Modalert®, tab Oxynerve plus®, etc.) along with physiotherapy, and other supportive treatments. Key indicators involve recovery of consciousness, normalization of muscle tone, earlier onset of movements, adequate strength, and quality of life. The TBI rehabilitation service is advantageous, as supported by proportionally massive progress in exercise tolerance and overall health. The above case study serves as an example of an extensive rehabilitation program for patients who have undergone conservative treatment after suffering a diffuse axonal injury.
