Define the term Acquired brain injury Acquired brain injury required brain injury is brain damage caused by events after birth , rather than as part of a genetic or congenital disorder such as foetal alcohol syndrome , peri-natal illness or peri-natal hypoxia. ABI can result in cognitive , physical , emotional , or behavioral impairments that lead to permanent or temporary changes in functioning . These impairment result from either traumatic brain injury ( physical trauma due to accidents, assaults , neurosurgery , head injury ) or non-traumatic injury derived from either an internal or external source ( stroke , brain tumours , infection, poisoning , hypoxia , ischemia, encephalopathy or substance abuse) ABI does not include damage to the brain resulting from neurodegenerative disorders While research has demonstrated that thinking and behavior may be altered in virtually all form of ABI , brain injury is itself a very complex phenomenon having dramatically varied effects . No two persons can expect the same outcome or resulting difficulties . The brain controls every part of human life : physical , intellectual , behavioral , social and emotional . When the brain is damaged, some part of a person's life will be adversely affected
