Stages of Traumatic Brain Injury:
- Acute stage — the first 3 days after the injury. This phase involves stabilizing the patient's condition and conducting necessary examinations to assess brain damage.
- Subacute stage — the first 3 weeks after the injury. This includes active medication therapy, surgical intervention (if necessary), and the start of initial rehabilitation.
- Intermediate stage — after 3 weeks. This phase focuses on functional recovery, where rehabilitation begins to improve both physical and neuropsychological health.
Rehabilitation after TBI:
Rehabilitation should begin approximately one month after the injury. The primary goal is to improve the patient's quality of life and achieve partial or full recovery of both physical and cognitive health.
