About ERP/EEG
MTBI Epedemic
The Brain Injury Society . . . “In fact, motor vehicle accidents (MVA) and falls are responsible for most TBIs suffered by Americans. According to the CDC about 2 million Americans per year experience TBI, with 14.3% caused by traffic accidents and 40.5% caused by falls. That means some 286,000 TBIs result from car crashes annually. The actual number may be much higher because brain injuries aren’t always immediately obvious after an accident. Indeed, TBI is commonly referred to as a “silent” epidemic because many people do not associate brain injury with concussions —the most common form of TBI.”
ERP
ERP or Event Related Potential is a functional evaluation of the brain for better identification of injury from micro-trauma that results from stretched axons and neurons as well as chemical changes not evidenced on CT or MRI.
