Explain the difference between acceleration and deceleration brain injuries.
What will be an ideal response?
A direct blow to the head causes acceleration brain injury. This type of injury causes the skull to move away from the blow. Since the brain does not move away from the blow at the same speed as the skull, the skull makes impact to the brain and causes brain injury.
In deceleration brain injury, the skull makes impact to a stationary object (e.g., fall on concrete). The skull stops suddenly when it makes impact on the concrete. The brain continues to move towards the concrete and make impact with the skull.
