Proponency Office for Rehabilitation and Reintegration (PR&R)

The Proponency Office for Rehabilitation and Reintegration (PR&R) has published a new video, called "Introduction to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)." The video demonstrates the U.S. Army's commitment to detect, treat, and track Traumatic Brain Injuries, especially mild TBI, also known as concussion. To view it, click "More" (video is displayed on the bottom half of the page).

The most important tool for rehabilitation is education. The Proponency Office for Rehabilitation and Reintegration (PR&R) has worked closely with subject matter experts in the area of traumatic brain injury to produce these patient education tools. The content matter was originally developed by Womack Army Medical Center, located in Ft. Bragg, NC, and has been reviewed by clinicians and various healthcare personnel to ensure the most accurate and beneficial information is provided to our Soldiers.

These education tools cover exercises and techniques that patients can use to assist with their rehabilitation from injuries associated with TBI. In addition to instructions for patients to aid in their recovery, there are also supporting visual images. These tools are only to be used under the guidance of a health care provider.
