  • Incidence, Awareness, and Reporting of Sport-Related Concussions in Manitoba High Schools
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE COPYRIGHT © 2019 THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NEUROLOGICAL SCIENCES INC. Incidence, Awareness, and Reporting of Sport-Related Concussions in Manitoba High Schools Glen L. Bergeron ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Federal and provincial governments in Canada are promoting provincial legislation to prevent and manage sport-related concussions (SRCs). The objective of this research was to determine the incidence of concussions in high school sport, the knowledge of the signs, symptoms, and consequences of SRC, and how likely student athletes are to report a concussion. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of athletes (N = 225) from multiple sports in five high schools in one Manitoba school division was conducted. Results: Participants in this study were well aware of the signs, symptoms, and consequences of SRC. Cognitive and emotional symptoms were the least recognized consequences. SRC is prevalent in high schools in both males and females across all sports. Of the 225 respondents, 35.3% reported having sustained an SRC. Less than half (45.5%) reported their concussion. Athletes purposely chose not to report a concussion in games (38.4%) and practices (33.8%). Two major barriers to reporting were feeling embarrassed (3.4/7) and finding it difficult (3.5/7) to report. There was, however, strong agreement (Mean 5.91/7, SD 0.09) when asked if they intend to report a concussion should they experience one in the future. Conclusions: The results suggest that high school athletes would benefit from more SRC education. Coaches and team medical staff must be trained to be vigilant for the mechanism, signs, and symptoms of injury in both game and practice situations.

  • Rationale for Collaborative Action
    Zero Tolerance for Concussions and other Neurotrauma in Ice Hockey: Rationale for Collaborative Action Aynsley M. Smith, RN, PhD, Michael J. Stuart, MD, David Dodick, MD, Matthew C Sorenson, JD, MA Jonathon T Finnoff, DO, David Krause, PT, DSc The Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center Hockey Research Team This document provides an overview of some research across sectors that might segue to an empirical basis for discussion by Summit attendees who seek a collaborative, multi sector solution to addressing the concussion challenge in hockey. 1 Preface We would like to state at the outset that Aynsley, Michael and our ice hockey research team has been humbled by the fantastic support of the faculty, steering and planning committees. Many of you have been addressing concussions your entire careers, are extremely well known and are well published in concussions in hockey and in related neurotrauma. The purpose of the Ice Hockey Summit: Action on Concussion is to provide background information to attendees so they can make informed decisions on the action plan needed to address the concussion epidemic. This pre-reading has been written to help ensure that we all have a basic understanding of the many dimensions of concussion. Hopefully, the six sectors identified and discussed in the pre-reading will serve as the studs in a framework for a collaborative action plan toward a solution. This document is not an exhaustive review of the influences on concussion. Our paradigm is influenced and simultaneously limited by our knowledge and professional experience. In many cases we are aware we have only cited only one or two publications written by our steering committee members.

  • Parents' and Child's Concussion History As Predictors of Parental
    Original Research Parents’ and Child’s Concussion History as Predictors of Parental Attitudes and Knowledge of Concussion Recognition and Response Melissa C. Kay,* MS, LAT, ATC, Johna K. Register-Mihalik,*† PhD, LAT, ATC, Cassie B. Ford,* PhD, Richelle M. Williams,‡ PhD, ATC, and Tamara C. Valovich McLeod,‡ PhD, ATC, FNATA Investigation performed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA, and A.T. Still University, Mesa, Arizona, USA Background: Parents’ knowledge of and attitudes toward concussions are often vital factors that affect care for injured adolescent athletes. It is important to understand the role that parents’ personal experiences with concussions play with regard to current concussion knowledge and attitudes so that clinicians may tailor their educational approaches. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to determine an association between parents’ personal experiences and their child’s experiences with concussions as well as parental concussion knowledge and attitudes. We hypothesized that parents who have personally experienced symptoms or have a child who has experienced symptoms would have better knowledge and more favorable attitudes toward concussions. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Parents of youth sport athletes (N ¼ 234 [82 male, 144 female, 8 unreported]; mean age, 44.0 ± 6.3 years) completed a prevalidated survey for concussion knowledge (maximum score possible, 29) and attitudes (maximum score possible, 49). Higher scores indicated better knowledge and more favorable attitudes toward concussive injuries. Parents reported the frequency of concussion diagnoses and/or experiences of concussion-related symptoms and whether their child had suffered a diagnosed concussion or experienced concussion symptoms (yes/no).

  • Implications for Concussion Assessments and Return-To-Play Standards in Intercollegiate Football: How Are the Risks Managed? John J
    Implications for concussion assessments and return-to-play standards in intercollegiate football: How are the risks managed? John J. Miller, John T. Wendt, & Nick Potter KEYWORDS: ABSTRACT Concussion, Guidelines The lack of understanding regarding the symptoms and effects of concussions by athletes and coaches can generate pressure on both the team physicians to diagnose concussions as well as the sport administrators who need to be aware what concussion protocols are being followed. The significance of appropriate diagnosis of a concussion and the return- to-play protocols may be complicated by the number of guidelines available as well as the reliance on the athlete to self-report the symptoms of a concussion. While the grading guidelines have advanced the use of uniform terminology and increased awareness of concussion signs and symptoms, the lack of scientific method in creating the concussion management guidelines called their effectiveness into question. A total of 65 head football athletic trainers were surveyed to determine how medical personnel at selected universities managed the risk of concussions in intercollegiate football. The results indicated that nearly 70% of the respondents indicated that between five to eight football players on their respective teams incurred a concussion during the season. However, no dominant guidelines for assessing a concussion were revealed as none of the guidelines were employed by more than 29% of the population. Finally, 50% did not believe that the same guidelines should be used for an initial concussion assessments or subsequent concussions. Because no two people can be diagnosed in exactly the same way, guidelines may inhibit proper treatment.

Correspondence to: Dilip R. Patel. Western Michigan University Homer Stryker MD School of Medicine, 1000, Oakland Drive, Kalamazoo Michigan, 49008, USA. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Sport-related concussions in young athletes are common, generally under reported and often unrecognized. Preventive strategies include education, modification of sport rules, use of equipment such as headgears, face masks and mouth guards, and neck muscle training. Evidence is limited to support effectiveness of these preventive measures with the exception of rule modification in some sports. In the United States, laws have been enacted that require medical evaluation and clearance prior to return to play; however, evidence thus far does not show that laws have been effective in reducing the incidence of concussions in sport. More research is needed in all areas of preventive measures. Sports participation is a complex personal decision on the part of the adolescent and his or her family. They should be provided with all information on inherent risks so that they can make an informed decision.
