Brain Injury Causes : Falls
Not surprisingly, a major cause of most brain injuries are falls. Like pedestrian related auto-accidents, falls occur mostly with younger children and the elderly, making these two groups most at risk for traumatic brain injury from falling. Brain injury inducing falls occur in everyday settings such down the stairs, on playgrounds, and in some cases getting on and off furniture. Due, to their increasing fragilitiy, the elderly are at an increasing risk for fall injuries.
