The field of traumatic brain injury has evolved since the time of the Civil War
in response to the needs of patients with injuries and disabilities resulting
from war. The Department of Veterans Affairs and the Defense and Veterans Brain
Injury Center have been in the forefront of the development of the
interdisciplinary approach to the rehabilitation of soldiers with traumatic brain
injury, particularly those injured from the recent conflicts in Iraq and
Afghanistan. The objectives of this literature review are to examine how the
casualties resulting from major wars in the past led to the establishment of the
current model of evaluation and treatment of traumatic brain injury and to review
how the field has expanded in response to the growing cohort of military service
members and veterans with TBI.
