Frequently Asked Questions About Head Injury Ruth Hutchison, M.S. and Terry Hutchison, M.D., Ph.D., and The Texas Head Injury Association State Chapter of the National Head Injury Foundation, in collaboration with members of the Texas Head Injury Association, provide the following answers to questions frequently asked by head injured people, their families and friends, and professionals. WHAT IS A HEAD INJURY? The term HEAD INJURY refers to an injury to the BRAIN which is usually the result of an accident, or sometimes an assault. Often the injury results froma blow to the head such as may be suffered in an automobile accident, a fall or a gunshot wound. The injury may also occur as a result of lack of oxygen (such as in drowning), or as a result of lack of blood supply to the brain (such as following a cardiac arrest). People with multiple injuries (as in serious auto accidents) often suffer brain injury by more than one of these mechanisms. The term HEAD INJURY is preferable to the term BRAIN DAMAGE because the brain has tremendous powers of recovery. Furthermore, shortly after a head injury, it is usually impossible. WHAT HAPPENED?

140. NASD: Safety Tips For Farming With A Brain Injury Article from National Agricultural Safety Database (NASD) talking about special considerations and concerns. Farmers with brain injuries share a list of general tips to help prevent additional injuries. http://www.cdc.gov/nasd/docs/d000001-d000100/d000052/d000052.html

Safety Tips for Farming with a Brain Injury The Easter Seal Society It is very important to determine the exact nature of the limitations and how these limitations may affect performing farm tasks safely. The following is a list of general tips that farmers with brain injuries have shared to help prevent additional injuries. If the doctor says that you shouldn't drive a car, then you shouldn't operate farm machinery. If the doctor says that you can operate an automobile with modifications, then you can also operate farm machinery with appropriate modifications. Please consult with a rehabilitation professional regarding the appropriate modifications. Head protection, such as helmets, should be worn at all times when performing farm related tasks. If the injury has resulted in limited mobility, appropriate mobility aids should be selected to prevent falls. These aids may include: a used golf cart; lawn mower with adaptations; an appropriate wheelchair; and special cane tips for maneuvering around ice, snow, and loose gravel.
