Recovering from traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can feel overwhelming, both for patients and families. A sudden head trauma whether from an accident, fall, sports injury, or surgery can change life instantly. At Rehabana, East India’s first dedicated neuro rehabilitation center, we provide holistic, doctor-led treatment of traumatic brain injury designed to restore independence, dignity, and quality of life.
Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
A traumatic brain injury happens when a sudden injury to the head disrupts normal brain function. This can be due to a closed head injury (something hits your head hard but doesn’t break the skull) or a penetrating head injury (an object enters your brain).
TBI may cause temporary issues, or it can lead to long-term challenges such as brain swelling, damage to the brain tissue, or even brain death in the most severe cases.
Common head injury causes include:
The impact of a TBI depends on injury severity and the area of the brain affected. Doctors typically classify brain injuries into three categories:
Also called a concussion, mild TBI may cause headaches, dizziness, memory lapses, or confusion. Most patients recover well, but some may still need structured therapy for complete recovery.
Also called a concussion, mild TBI may cause headaches, dizziness, memory lapses, or confusion. Most patients recover well, but some may still need structured therapy for complete recovery.
The primary injury occurs at the time of trauma. Secondary injuries may develop later, such as brain bleeding or reduced oxygen supply, increasing the risk of complications and disability.

Continuous care and emergency assistance whenever you need us.
Common Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Every patient with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) is different, but symptoms can vary depending on the severity and area of the brain affected. Early recognition and proper treatment are important, as untreated TBI can worsen over time and may require structured rehabilitation for safe, long-term recovery. Common TBI symptoms include:
At Rehabana, diagnosis begins with compassion and clarity. Families often feel anxious, so our doctors take time to explain every step.
We start with a neurological exam to test reflexes, balance, and speech. Families also share details of the injury causes and patient’s medical history.
CT scans or MRIs reveal damage to the brain tissue, swelling of the brain, or a closed head injury. In some cases, doctors detect a diffuse injury or penetrating head injury.
Using the Glasgow Coma Scale, doctors classify cases as mild TBI, moderate TBI, or severe traumatic brain injury.
Memory, problem-solving, and emotional health are evaluated to guide therapy.
How Brain Injury Impacts Function and Behavior
The brain is delicate, and even a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) can disrupt normal function. Severe injuries may damage brain cells, brain tissue, or blood flow, leading to physical, cognitive, emotional, and long-term complications. The effects often depend on which area of the brain is affected, which is why treatment must be personalized for each patient.
Medical care saves lives immediately after a traumatic brain injury, but many patients and families are left asking, “What next?” Without structured rehabilitation, recovery may remain incomplete and lead to long-term dependence. With proper therapy and guided management, the brain can relearn skills and patients can regain independence. At Rehabana, we support families with step-by-step, doctor-guided TBI treatment that is practical, structured, and hopeful.
Comprehensive, Doctor-Guided Rehabilitation for Lasting Recovery
Rehabana offers structured, doctor-led neurorehabilitation designed to help patients regain independence, improve function, and rebuild confidence after traumatic brain injury.
Every patient starts with a consultation with our MD Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation specialist, with goals reviewed every two weeks.
We use robotics, gait trainers, and modern therapy equipment to enhance recovery and improve outcomes beyond traditional physiotherapy methods.
Recovery is not just physical. We support emotional and mental well-being, treating the whole person, not just the injury.
We provide specialized rehabilitation that is cost-effective and clearly structured, without the high inpatient costs often seen in large hospitals.
Our team includes physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists, and rehab nurses working together for comprehensive care.
We guide families at every step, offering practical advice and structured plans to continue progress at home.
From Setback to Strength
Behind every testimonial is a family that refused to give up. At Rehabana, patients don’t just receive therapy - they regain hope, confidence, and the courage to move forward.
Therapies for TBI Patients
Rehabilitation is the heart of recovery. After the initial injury is treated in a hospital, patients come to Rehabana for structured rehab.
Helps restore strength, mobility, and coordination for traumatic brain injury patients.
Trains patients to manage everyday tasks - eating, dressing, writing - to regain independence.
Restores communication, swallowing, and cognitive-linguistic skills for people with TBI.
Improves attention, memory, and problem-solving for people with traumatic brain injury.
Uses machines to support walking and limb movement, especially useful in severe injury cases.
Supports mental wellbeing for patients and families. Family about the injury is also counseled so they can manage challenges together.
Advanced Medical Management for Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
For patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), care goes far beyond routine therapy. It requires close medical monitoring, prevention of complications, and structured management based on global standards such as Brain Trauma Foundation recommendations - while keeping the process clear and transparent for families.
Understanding Recovery After Traumatic Brain Injury
Recovery after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) depends on several factors, including the type of initial injury, age, overall health, and severity. While outcomes vary, structured rehabilitation plays a crucial role in maximizing brain recovery and improving independence at every stage. At Rehabana, we have seen meaningful progress even in patients who had lost hope, as personalized rehab plans help address the specific needs of mild, moderate, and severe injuries.

My father has been unable to walk due to serious nerve problems, which has been very challenging for our family. We are truly grateful to Rehabana for providing home physiotherapy with such care and dedication. The doctor is extremely kind, listens patiently to our concerns, and guides us properly at every step. A special thanks to the Rehabana team, especially Arghadip Sarkar, whose support and effort have helped my father a lot in his recovery journey. We sincerely hope that with their continued guidance and therapy, my father will soon be able to walk independently without any support.

Patient's Daughter & Wife
My mother and my husband are patients of Dr. Kaustav Basu Thakur at Rehabana centre, Salt Lake. They've benefitted immensely from his treatment. Dr. Kaustav doesn't give unnecessary tests and examines each patient with utmost attention, care and time. He is very attentive and approachable. My mother's shoulder pain was rendering her almost incapable of leading her daily life even after consulting many doctors, until Dr. Kaustav actually cured her. My husband also has had tremendous improvement in his backpain after having to sit for long hours in the computer. Thanks to the very equipped clinic and very professional and warm staff and doctors.

I have consulted Dr. Ambar Konar for my wife regarding her long standing (~ 12 yrs) shoulder pain.He was exemplary in his diagnosis about Myofascial Band which has been missed by many stalwart Ortho or Neuro consultants since last 12 yrs. She is much better right now after the treatment. Not only his treatment but his behaviour is also very very cordial.He listens his patients with utmost care and provides the proper management. As all the latest equipments present along with Dr. Ambar Konar, Rehabana is highly recommended.
