WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF A BRAIN INJURY?

The signs and symptoms of a brain injury can be grouped into four broad categories: Behavioural/Emotional, Cognitive, Perceptual, and Physical.  Because each injury is unique, each affected individual will exhibit different symptoms.  The following is not intended to replace consultation with a medical professional.  Nor is it a comprehensive list of all possible signs and symptoms.  Being affected by any number of these symptoms does not necessarily mean that a brain injury has occurred.  Please consult a medical professional or the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre for more information (print and bring this completed checklist with you).  [FULL DISCLAIMER TO BE ADDED].

Select the ranking that best describes how each symptom has affected you in the last day, based on a rating of:
0 = no effect
1 = minor  (slight annoyance)
2 = moderate (interferes but not disabling)
3 = major (unable to function)
