Brain injury can lead to physical, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral problems, such as loss of memory, speech loss, loss of motor skills, mental confusion, amnesia, mood changes, severe headaches, dizziness, difficulties with balance, vision, hearing, sleep, and more.

Spinal cord injury refers to any damage or injury to the spinal cord caused by trauma. These injuries may be complete, meaning the victim suffers a total loss of function to incomplete, which may result in little or temporary loss of function.
