PBA is most commonly observed in people with neurologic injuries such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke, [19] [21] and neurologic diseases such as dementias including Alzheimer's disease, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), [5] [22] multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Parkinson's disease (PD).

A common category with the greatest number of injuries is traumatic brain injury (TBI) following physical trauma or head injury from an outside source, and the term acquired brain injury (ABI) is used in appropriate circles to differentiate brain injuries occurring after birth from injury, from a genetic disorder (GBI), or from a congenital ...
