Post-concussion syndrome

The disease can only be diagnosed after death. CTE has never been found in a person without a history head injuries. A daunting fact about CTE is once it develops, it continuously grows, and there is no way to stop it. Concussions and TBI’s are closely related. Concussions are

football players are getting [more] brain injuries today than ever before” (Watson 37). Once taking a hit to the head it can trigger a concussion or even worse. In a serious hit to head it can cause in some cases Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) (“Sports-Related”1). It is indicated that “TBIs are extremely common to athletes. Sports-related TBIs include concussions, contusions, hematomas, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)” which can come from one tackled on the field or even from a hit on

anxiety, impaired memory and reading comprehension, and distressing flashbacks of the incident. A neuropsychological evaluation found her symptoms to be in the severe range of the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and she was diagnosed with PTSD and Post-Concussion Syndrome. The evaluation found a direct causal link between her symptoms and the incident. The patient’s symptoms were consistent with mild TBI. However, the presence of PTSD (which shares symptoms like impaired attention and irritability) complicated

consequences associated with participating in grueling sport activities such as professional football. What responsibilities should the National Football League (NFL) have in regards to providing an adequate support system to players suffering from a concussion during a practice or regular season game and from lifelong challenges as a result of traumatic head injuries sustained during the regular season or practices? The resources I have referenced in this proposal essay, provide evidence to answer

Brain injuries, like the case described below, can cause direct contact to specific parts of the brain, resulting in the need for rehabilitation and social or psychological support. It’s destructive injury not only to the person who has the injury, but also to the people around that person. A year ago, a young boy was involved in a car accident. Upon impact of the car, a speaker box in the back seat came forward and the corner of the box penetrated the back of his skull. He was knocked unconscious

unfortunately, the only way to confirm this pathology is post-mortem.1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 CTE stands for chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and according to the 2012 Rehabilitation Research and Practice Journal, ”CTE is defined as a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is a long-term consequence of single or repetitive closed head injuries.”6 The number of people who have the disease is unknown due to the fact that it can only be conclusively confirmed post-mortem. For the patients who (per se) could have
