The ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and terrorist activity worldwide have
been associated with an increased incidence of blast injuries. While blast
injuries share similarities with blunt or penetrating traumatic injuries, there
are unique mechanistic elements of blast injury that create increased
vulnerability to damage of specific organs. This review highlights the mechanism
of blast-related injury, describes the common sequelae of blast exposure that may
impact rehabilitation care, and summarizes the intervention strategies for these
blast-related sequelae.
