This presentation delves into the intersection of aging and TBI, whether aging with a TBI or sustaining a TBI in older age. The presentation will focus on the latest research on TBI in older adults, including risk factors, recovery trajectories, and long-term outcomes. The session will also highlight innovative approaches to prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation tailored to the aging population. Join us to enhance your understanding and improve care strategies for this vulnerable and growing demographic.
