Traumatic brain injury encompasses a variety of conditions caused by an external mechanical force to the head resulting in damage to brain tissue. Mild traumatic brain injury refers to head trauma without loss of consciousness or with a loss of consciousness lasting less than 20 minutes (Gasquoine, 1997; Miller, 1996). Post-concussional syndrome is a term often used interchangeably with mild traumatic brain injury and refers to the array of cognitive, psychosocial, and behavioral manifestations associated with pathophysiological changes involved with traumatic brain injury.
