    5660 New Northside Drive Suite 640 Atlanta, Georgia 30328 USA Phone: 678.324.3300 Fax: 678.324.3303 www.esixglobal.com Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Concussions and Concussion Management Guidelines for Sports Organizations Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), known more commonly as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” is a debilitating and incurable fatal disease that results in a swift atrophy of voluntary muscle control. Those affected by this disease may have fully functioning brain activity in a body that continues to deteriorate. In a release from the Journal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology dated August 17, 2010 (www.lww.com/newscenter/articledisplay/?newscenter_id=681), the organization has suggested that professional athletes, and possibly others with a history of head injuries may be prone to the development of a motor neuron disease which resembles Lou Gehrig’s disease. These findings would suggest that brain trauma while participating in sports can be a risk factor for ALS, and are the first firm pathological indication that brain trauma (concussions) may result in motor-neuron degeneration. Within the professional and amateur sports communities, the issue of concussions has been widely discussed and analyzed over the past several years. According to statistics reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 135,000 sports and recreation-related traumatic brain injuries (TBI), including concussions, occur each year. According to the CDC, traumatic brain injuries contribute to a substantial number of deaths and cases of permanent disability. The medical information now available does suggest that some of these life altering conditions may not present themselves for many years, or decades.
