Now in a fully revised and expanded second edition, this
comprehensive text remains a timely and major contribution to the
literature that addresses the neuromechanisms, predispositions, and
latest developments in the evaluation and management of concussive
injuries. Concussion, also known as mild traumatic brain injury,
continues to be a significant public health concern with increased
attention focusing on treatment and management of this puzzling
epidemic as well as controversies within the field. The book is
comprised of five thematic sections: current developments in
evaluation; biomechanical mechanisms; neural substrates,
biomarkers, genetics and brain imaging; pediatric considerations;
and clinical management and rehabilitation. Since the publication
of the original edition in 2014, much has changed regarding the
current understanding of mild traumatic brain injury including
development of more precise imaging modalities, development and
classification of new biomarkers, and updates to clinical treatment
and management of athletic concussion. This new edition will
include new chapters targeting the influence of genetics on
concussive injury, as well as an expansion on the knowledge of
pediatric response to concussion and the influence of repetitive
subconcussive impacts on athlete health. An invaluable contribution
to the literature, Concussions in Athletics: From Brain to Behavior
reestablishes itself as a state-of-the-art reference that will be
of significant interest to a wide range of clinicians, researchers,
administrators, and policy makers, and this updated version aims to
narrow the gap between research findings and clinical management of
sports-related concussion and other mild traumatic brain injury.
The second edition also attempts to broaden the scope of the
knowledge to apply to more professionals and pre-professionals in
the fields of neuroscience, neuropsychology, and other allied
health professionals that closely work with athletes and sports
medicine professionals.
