This evidence based practice article explores the persistent concussive symptoms (symptoms lasting more than 90 days post-injury) in students from middle school, high school, and college that obtain many sport-related concussions. The studies by Harmon et al (2013) and Doolan, Day, Maerlender, Goforth & Brolinson (2012), found that just in the United states alone, there are over a million concussions every year and there are at least 50% of the concussions that are not reported. One that acquires a concussion will go through neurocognitive testing, see a physician, and go through screenings and more. Although these methods for management are being done to treat a concussion, there is not any evidence based practice to say that those methods are actually working.

There have been surveys taken to show the relation of elbow and shoulder injuries and pitching. Statistics taken describe (1) the proportion of pitchers with a history of pitching related upper-extremity injury (2) proportion of pitchers with w history of pitching related elbow and shoulder injury that was treated through surgery (3)types of upper-extremity injuries sustained by pitchers and (4) types of upper extremity injuries sustained by a certain age category around the same time of injury.
