Concussion Prevention and Management
摘要
ConcussionConcussion is a relatively common injury that can occur in any sport, though the risk increases significantly depending on the level and nature of contact involved. Sports-related concussion (SRC) has gained a lot of attention in recent years due to high-profile cases in professional sports. There is a wealth of literature on concussion diagnosis, management, and prevention with growing focus on biomarkers and the use of technology to improve each of these aspects of SRC. It is important for clinicians and other sports stakeholders to understand the evolving research on how best to manage this injury. This chapter will briefly review the key features currently understood about concussion and focus on the up-and-coming research that shows promise in advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this condition.
