Exercises To Experience The Effects Of Brain Injury

What Does Living With A Brain Injury Feel Like?

Brain injury is often referred to as the ‘invisible injury’, because on the outside people may look healthy, but on the inside they have been hurt and are still healing. Recovery is a long, difficult struggle, and how you react to a survivor’s challenges can seriously affect their self esteem.

While it is impossible for anyone without a brain injury to know what survivors experience, or to understand the effects, here are a few great exercises to give you a pretty good idea of what it feels like..

Goggles

Coat eyeglasses or goggles with Vaseline, put them on and then try to move around.

Peanut Butter

Put a big blob of peanut butter on your tongue, and then try to talk.

Shoe Laces

Try to tie your shoe laces using your non-dominate hand.
