This screenshot is a research paper published by Frontier headlined "A comprehensive review of the rehabilitation approach for traumatic brain injury: Efficacy and outcome". A couple of days ago, I was reading this research paper and it literally blew my mind.

The paper talks about the key rehabilitation strategies for moderate to severe TBI, outlining the primary techniques used and their primary deficit target and their outcomes.

It talks about neuropsychology, cognitive rehabilitation, neuroplasty-based rehabilitation, technological rehabilitation, behavioral and psychosocial rehabilitation, community-based rehabilitation and occupational therapy, attention and communication training and telerehabilitation and remote technologies.

The paper explains everything very effectively, but the problem with this kind of research paper is that in the rehabilitation approach for mild to severe TBI, they never talk about the muscle loss and strength loss that play a huge role in rehabilitation.

Due to inactivity and injury to the brain, the muscles get weak for two reasons-one is not being able to receive signals from the brain and the second is not being able to use the muscles or inactivity.

After getting weak, the muscles start to degrade from their position slowly and, in some cases, due to prolonged bed rest, the muscle vanishes from its position.

Muscle building and working to build physical strength plays a huge role in the rehabilitation of a brain injury survivor, but unfortunately, you will never find any research paper talking about muscle building and strength building.

Muscle building and strength building are the most important portion of the rehabilitation of the brain injury survivor and a brain injury survivor can never regain his lost physical and mental capabilities if they are ingnored.

Thanks.

Life is all about ups and downs and is full of uncertainty. Sometimes it is full of happiness, joy and fun, sometimes it brings sadness, tears and struggle. Nobody knows what it will bring to us next and it is unpredictable.

Whether you are rich or poor, everybody has their own difficulties and struggles in life. Some are struggling for money, some are struggling for education or some are struggling for health.

Everyone here is struggling to make their life better. People fall so many times in the struggle to make their lives better. Some stand up again to put in an effort again, but some never stand up again and give up on life.

We all fall in our lives many times when we struggle with something to make things better. If one falls a hundred times and up a hundred first, then there is no problem with falling. Those who fall and stand up each with more power and determination, then there is no problem with falling.

The problem is when we fall and give up on standing again and get defeated by life. We lose courage, we lose life. It is very important to understand that struggle is a part of life and nobody on this planet is free from struggle, but only those people who defeat struggle put their courage on and make an effort to stand again every time they are struck by fate.

So never lose courage in life, fall a thousand times and stand a thousand and one times.

Thanks 🙏.

I am a brain injury survivor who was at the time in a coma and when I returned from the coma my full body was paralyzed. I was not even able to move my fingers at that time.

After thirteen years of that injury that took place on 22 of March 2012, right now I am doing phenomenal with my body and recovering from the physical damage almost completely with a little bit problem that still persists in my body.

The little bit physical issues that I am currently struggling with today are not because they can't be cured, but there are some major flaws in the clinical and rehabilitation setting, the price of which I am paying right now.

Any typical brain injury is similar to other injuries to the body, and it must follow the same road to recovery plan as other injuries. But it is very unfortunate that medical professionals and people treat a brain injury like a ghost injury.

This society portrays a brain injury survivor as a weak entity and doesn't make efforts to help a brain injury recover completely. They don't believe that the physical effect due to a brain injury is reversible.

With the knowledge that I have today and the amount of effort that I make to fix my problem, I will say this again that physical effect damage due to a brain injury is 100% reversible and that, too, in no time.

But to reverse the physical damage due to a brain injury, the caretakers must follow certain recovery metrics in different stages to help a brain injury survivor recover completely.

What must a caretaker do when the person is in a bedridden condition? What is the role of rehabilitation and what kind of protocols must be followed in rehabilitation?

Most importantly, they must know the role of strength training in reversing the physical damage that is due to a brain injury. They must know the importance of strength training, without which no brain injury survivor can get back his lost physical capabilities.

My message is simple: that the physical damage due to a brain injury is 1000% reversible in almost any mild to severe cases. If you want to know in detail, kindly reach me out.

Thanks.

When I started doing strength training in the gym after the brain injury, I was physically weak and, at the same time, I didn't possess any knowledge regarding strength training and gym.

It was in my mind that training hard in the gym would only make me stronger, and I was pushing my body seven days a week in the gym to get stronger without giving proper time to my body to recover.

Since my legs were weak, and it was in my mind that training my leg harder would make it stronger, I asked one of the trainers in the gym whether I could train my leg daily?, he told me yes, I could.

So I was training my leg harder daily under what I could possibly do at time in the hope that it would get stronger. But over the period of time, my legs became weaker, and I started feeling more problems walking.

When I started doing research after the incident, I found very fascinating facts on the internet and one of the things was that our body doesn't get strong we train harder, but it gets weak when we train.

The body gets strong when we give it ample time to recover after the hard training. This was a total game-changer for me and after that, I started giving proper time to my body to recover after the hard training and, over the period of time, I got more and stronger.

So the fact is, when you train harder, your body gets weak, and it gets strong when you give it ample time to recover.

Thanks.

When I returned back from coma after the brain injury and came back to normal life after the prolonged rehabilitation, I was so physically weak that I even felt difficulties with normal body movement.

I was inactive with no body movement for more than four months and, due to inactivity, I lost a significant amount of muscle mass from my body. My body weight came down from sixty-five kilograms to thirty-five to forty kilograms.

As we all know that muscles are the sole mover of the human body, and we are able to move our body only because of the presence of healthy muscles in the body. The quantity of muscle mass always dictates the quantity of body movement in humans.

Until I didn't start strength training, my body movement and balance were totally disturbed, and I used to walk like an abnormal person. But when I started performing strength training in the gym, I felt significant changes in my movements. From walking like an abnormal person, I slowly started walking very close to a normal person.

In the last seven to eight continuous years of training in the gym, I gained a significant amount of muscle mass and my body weight went up from sixty-five kilograms to nearly seventy-five kilograms. The muscle mass that I gained significantly changed my body movement and started to feel like normal again.

Even the good quality of muscle tissue around any specific joint improves joint mobility and helps bones to move efficiently in its capsule.

So focusing on improving the quality of muscle mass in the body significantly improves the quality of body movement and, especially for a brain injury survivor, working on building the muscle mass can significantly improve the quality of body movement and improves the efficiency of life after a brain injury.

Thanks.

Always true in every facet of life, whether one is struggling with education, career, health or any other things that one wants to achieve-discipline will always beat motivation.

Motivation is always temporary. One cannot keep himself motivated for a longer period of time, and it will disappear in days, months or mostly a year.

But some work in life needs to be continuously kept going for a longer period of time or sometime until will live. Under these circumstances, where one needs to keep working for life, motivation will never work, and it can never last for life.

There comes the role of discipline, which has the power to beat motivation and can last till the very end of life. Being a brain injury survivor, I have been working out in the gym for more than seven years and will keep working till the very end of my life.

For me, it was not motivation that kept me working for these long years, but it was discipline that made me keep working in the gym for so long. It was discipline that drove me every day taking all those difficulties in my body to work harder and beat all the hardship with my health that I was struggling with after the brain injury.

A disciplined person will never look for temporary motivation, and it is totally possible that a motivated person will one day lose motivation and give up, but a disciplined person never stops making an effort and never gives up.

Thanks.

Being a brain injury, this statement is the base of my life after the injury to be happy, joyful, and hopeful in life. Before the injury, I was like other young, healthy individuals, and there was no feeling of comparison with anybody in any aspect of life. I was a sports person, and my life was full of all kinds of athleticism.

But after the injury, when my physical capabilities got limited, and from being an athlete, I became a person who could barely even walk comfortably. The destiny struck me badly, and I started comparing my life after the injury to my own life before it and to the healthy individuals.

The tendency of comparing my life to others went so deep in my mind that whenever I saw other young individuals running or playing, I started thinking of my life before the injury when I used to be like others. This feeling of comparing myself to others always made me sad, unhappy, and a depressed person.

Sooner I realized that this thought of comparing myself to others was taking away joy and halting my further progress that I could possibly achieve with happiness. I later accepted my life condition after the injury and stopped comparing myself to others and my life itself before the injury.

I started enjoying my life with what I had after the injury and stopped thinking about what I lost. Happiness filled my life again, and my progress with my health reached the epitome of life.

Comparison is literally the thief of joy, and we must not compare our lives to the lives of anyone else on the planet.

Thanks.

Any severe injury to the brain leaves many unfavorable physical and neurological changes in the body, many of which fade away over the passage of time, some we get over through physical training and rehabilitation, and some stay with the survivor till the very end of life.

I was a sports person throughout my whole life before the injury, so it was very tough for me to accept the change that had taken place after the injury, the biggest challenge for me to accept.

When I came back from my coma and realized that I was not even able to move my finger, I was screaming and crying in despair. From the playground, I found myself on the deathbed, unable to move.

But with the passage of time, as I got mentally more stable, I realized that I had survived a brutal brain injury, and the physical problem that I had was due to the damage to the brain.

It was hard for me to accept the change and was my biggest challenge to accept, but I didn't waste much time in that and quickly accepted the change that had taken place in my body due to the brain injury.

If I had thought too much about the changes that had taken place in my body, the possibility of going into depression was huge, which would have further halted my growth.

A brain injury always left some physical, neurological, and other changes in the body, some of which recovered with time and some stayed till the very end of life. So rather than wasting time on things that you can't change, you must give time to things that you can recover with training and effort.

Thanks.

All of us know that health is an asset for any human being living on the planet and is the real wealth a human can possess. What it feels like to be healthy cannot be better explained by someone who is unhealthy and sick.

It is more than true that health is not valued until it is lost. It is an asset we don't value till we have it and value the most when we lose it.

Hunan life is full of all ups and downs; whether you are rich or poor, everybody has their own struggles and challenges in life. Life without struggle is no life at all.

We struggle in life with many challenges, fighting each challenge differently that comes in our life. We may have thousands of problems in life, fighting every challenge and not worrying too much about one particular problem.

But in all those thousands of changes, if one challenge or problem is with our own health, then all the challenges are left behind, and now we have only one challenge, and that is our health.

When we struggle with health, then we forget all other problems, and health becomes our major concern, and we never get relief until we become healthy again.

When money is lost, something is lost, but when health is lost, everything is lost. No worldly asset is similar to what being a healthy life is, and we must give first priority to our health under all good and bad circumstances of life.

Being a brain injury survivor, I know the pain of what life without health looks like and how much struggle one goes through when health is lost.

Value your health and give it the utmost priority under all circumstances of life because when it is lost, everything will start crumbling in front of you.

Health is wealth and a real asset a human can have.

Thanks.

The mantra of success in all kinds of human struggle and suffering is to never give and always give one more try. Life is the name of uncertainty, and it can change in a blink of an eye.

Nothing stays forever in life, neither sorrow nor happiness. Everything changes with time, and nothing is eternal.

When things go well in life, we cherish the moment, enjoy life, feel blessed, and want the moment to keep with us for the rest of life.

But as life is the name of ups and downs, sadness and sorrow are also a part of life. In these situations, life wants us to be strong and courageous so that you can fight.

I got injured at a time when I was at the peak of my life and everything went upside down in the blink of an eye. From the playing group, I found myself laying on the deathbed, trying to move my body but not being able to do so. It was a complete disaster for me.

But as I said earlier, life is the name of ups and downs. I have enjoyed my ups, and it was the time for me to show courage and fight hard in my downs.

I tried hard and looked for good in me and never gave up. My mind gave up so many times, but every time my mind gave up, I stood again and tried one more time and came victorious each time.

To all the brain injury survivors, my message is that whenever your mind says give up and accept the situation, always give it more try.

It is better to try one more time than to regret the whole life.

Thanks.

Being a brain injury survivor before starting strength training in the gym, I was always insisted on by my physical therapist to perform bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, or even pushups, and each time I tried, I failed.

It was very tough for me to do very simple-looking bodyweight exercises because at that time I had lost a significant amount of muscle mass and I was physically weak, immobile, inflexible, and lacked body awareness in the space.

Under that circumstance, it would always be difficult for anybody to perform any movement where physical strength, mobility, and body awareness are challenged.

What my physical therapist should have done before letting me perform bodyweight exercises was to find out different ways to build my muscles, improve my physical strength and mobility, and then introduce me to bodyweight exercises.

Through my research at that time, I was very fascinated by lifting weights, their versatility and ease, and from the very beginning of my gym life, I stuck to it, and it literally changed my life.

Lifting weight is the easiest and most versatile form of strength training that has so much for a brain injury survivor. It has so many variations and versatility that even one can do it from death-bed and get the benefit.

What I am saying is complete science; if you tell a person who is coming from a brain injury and is physically very weak to perform a bodyweight pushup, then he will definitely struggle. But if you first strengthen those pectorals’, triceps, and shoulder muscles by using different weights and machines and then let him do bodyweight exercises, it makes sense.

That’s why I believe and always preach that lifting weights is the easiest form of strength training, and it is definitely.

Thanks.

Recovery after a brain injury is always a slow process that takes time. It will never happen over a night. Those who keep themselves patient and walk steadily for a longer time will always taste victory.

Every brain injury is unique, and the severity of the damage depends on the extent of damage to the brain. The more severely the brain is damaged, the more severe the effect it will have on the body and the more time it will take to recover.

Recovery after any kind of brain injury takes time because, as we know brain cells does not have the capacity to regenerate. It can only transfer the work of the injured brain cells to the localized neurons around the injured part, and the process takes time.

What the process of recovery wants from a survivor is to keep moving steadily with patience without stopping. Recovery is a long-haul process, and if you stop in between, you will never be able to achieve success with your health.

100% recovery is possible in any kind of brain injury case, but the condition is that you need to walk through the process with the utmost patience for a longer time.
Recovery after a brain injury will never happen overnight; it will always take time and test your ability and patience to walk steadily for a longer time.

If you want to win, you need to keep walking.

Slow and steady will always win the race.

Thanks.
