Study: “Individuals with pre-existing migraine disorders may be at higher risk for worse outcomes, including greater overall burden of symptoms and worse cognitive functioning in the memory domain, in the first 72 hours after #concussion.” insights.ovid.com/clinical-s…

Common misperception is that #concussions are more or less the same. They can be quite different, even in the same person. Most present with headache and confusion. Others are dizzy and have vision problems. Some present with an emotional change. And all brains heal differently.

@NATA1950 Study: #Concussions accounted for 24.5% of competition injuries in high school but 14.6% of competition injuries in college. More than one-third of competition injuries to high school goalkeepers were concussions. natajournals.org/doi/full/10…

Via @NPRHealth, new guidelines recommending that children who sustained #concussion may resume activities, including light exercise and video games, sooner than before. Key: balancing child's need for rest with need for stimulation. Must be personalized. n.pr/2KU3Acc

Via @bbcsport_david, UK politicians have called on the government to improve sport-related #concussion protocols. A government report recently found that schools and even health care professionals lacked understanding of sport-related brain injuries. bbc.in/2r9a5P3

Asking a concussed player if he can play is like asking a drunk driver if he can drive. The player will always want to play and this proves they will do anything to get back on the field. Thank you #WVU Medical Staff for taking Simms’ helmet away!

Major misconception: all #concussions are the same. In fact, they can be quite different, even in the same person. Most present with headache and confusion. Others are dizzy and have vision problems. Some present with an emotional change.
And all brains heal differently.

Rugby injury study: “#Concussion was the most common injury among male players, accounting for 12% of injuries, followed by ankle ligament strains at 11%. Players were out of the game for 30 days and 25 days respectively.” irishexaminer.com/breakingne…

This is a great example of the #concussion sign known as posturing, or the "fencing response." Both arms are sticking straight out, which means he's unconscious and the midbrain is injured. According to @TaylorTwellman, the goalie stayed in the game. 🙅♂️
