Brain Injured Sensory Equipment

Brain injuries are the result of damage to the brain by external trauma to the head, known as Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), or internal neurological complications, which are called Acquired Brain Injuries (ABI). This can include road traffic accidents, falls and assaults in the case of TBIs, or medical events such as strokes and tumors with regards to ABIs. The severity of brain injuries is determined by the duration of unconsciousness experienced, with minor brain injuries characterized by brief periods of dizziness or confusion, while severe brain injuries are defined by loss of consciousness that lasts over 6 hours.

Aggravated brain injuries typically require prolonged periods of hospitalization and rehabilitation to address physical symptoms and communication difficulties that arise from the damage. At Experia USA, we provide specialized tools that help individuals adapt to life after brain injuries, stimulating specific sensory receptors and promoting neuroplasticity through repeated activities for brain injured adults. 

Sensory Tools for Life After Brain Injuries

Depending on the nature of the brain injury of the person in your care, their ability to interpret or modulate sensory inputs could be severely impacted, restricting their movement and speech while increasing the risk of sensory overload. Although complete recovery may not be possible for every patient, equipment and toys for brain injured adults can be calming for overstimulated individuals, while presenting opportunities for cognitive rehabilitation. The colorful LED display of our sound equalizer is responsive to sound, translating vocalizations from its user into multicolored lines that scroll across the screen. Illuminated segments make our interactive LED Fanlite an equally effective communication tool for those with brain injuries, with the semi-circular display adopting different colors as its user speaks into its microphone. 

For individuals whose mobility has been impacted by their brain injury, our line of customizable soft play can be shaped and sized to the precise dimensions of your multisensory environment. By eliminating the risk of doing further harm to themselves during their rehabilitation, your brain-injured users can practice sensory activities without fear, strengthening their neural connections to regain their lost gross motor functions.
