According to “Brainline” a national multimedia project offering information and resources on Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), there are 2.8 million individuals diagnosed with TBI annually in the United States alone. Ninety percent (2.5 million) are treated and released. Most are diagnosed with mild TBI best known as concussion.
