A comprehensive summary of sport-related concussion for parents,
coaches, and athletes that considers the physics behind the injury,
identifies what can be done to reduce the risk of its occurrence,
and describes how to respond to a suspected concussion. Concussion
injury among athletes continues to be a subject of great concern.
Increasing attention and research is focusing on the most
vulnerable of athletes-children. What strategies can be taken to
best protect young athletes in sports from grammar school football
leagues to high school hockey and soccer teams from concussion? How
do we treat youngsters who suffer head injuries in sports? What are
the ethical considerations in allowing children to play such
sports, given the risks to still-developing brains? In this updated
and expanded guide, William Meehan, MD, explains simply and clearly
how coaches, parents, and others who work with young athletes can
recognize concussion; best help children and youths recover from
concussion injuries; and take steps to become proactive to prevent
concussion. Readers will learn what causes a sport-related
concussion; what happens to brain cells during a concussion; and
why concussion, which in the past was dismissed as a trivial
injury, is taken so much more seriously now. The book explains how
to decrease the risk of concussion; addresses the potential for
cumulative effects from multiple concussions, including chronic
traumatic encephalopathy; and discusses the ethical dimensions of
deciding whether an athlete with multiple concussions should
continue to participate in high-risk sports. Provides a detailed
but easy-to-understand, jargon-free explanation of types of trauma
and the forces that result in a concussion as well as what happens
to brain cells when the brain suffers a concussion Presents the
facts about sport-related concussion and the potential for
cumulative effects of sport-related concussions, including a
discussion about chronic traumatic encephalopathy Informs athletes,
parents, and coaches about ways in which to prepare for a possible
concussion, how to respond to a potential concussion, and steps to
take to decrease the risk of a concussion injury
