People who suffer serious brain injuries often have problems with thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Many people with brain injury find that returning to independent living, work or school presents challenges that they cannot meet alone. Mayo Clinic's brain rehabilitation services were created to serve the ongoing needs of these people.
When people think of brain injuries, they usually think of traumatic injuries caused by a severe, sudden blow to the head, such as during a car collision. In fact, the most common cause of brain injuries are brain disorders such as stroke, aneurysms and brain tumors. More than 60 percent of patients treated in Mayo's Brain Rehabilitation Program are receiving treatment as a result of a stroke.
