The phenomenon of minor head injury is increasingly being recognized as having both immediate and long-term implications for athletes. Physicians, trainers, and coaches play a vital role in the prevention of injury, on-field diagnosis and management, and treatment of sports related concussion. From early recognition of a concussive event to treatment options and possible long-term side effects, all aspects of the neurologic and neuropsychologic evaluation and management of head injury in the athlete are addressed. The book concludes with a lively and informative round-table discussion amongst professional athletes who have experienced sports related concussion.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for athletes, trainers, coaches and team physicians.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sports-Related Concussion (Paperback)
The authors are clearly THE experts in the field of Sports Related Concussion. They share their experience in high school and college athletics as well as the NFL and NHL. The research that is quoted is very revealing. They claim most leg and knee injuries are examined by physicians, but most brain injuries are not! That's a scary thought!I was especially impressed with the comments from professional athletes who have suffered numerous concussions before gaining an understanding of the health implications. Their stories should be read by every coach and trainer!
