Post-concussion syndrome

they play sports. They have the chance to get injured or even get a concussion. A concussion is able to leave the players with a long-term effect on them or their brain. If the player hasn't had enough time to recover from the concussion and they get another one while they're playing. Then the multiple concussions will put them at risk of having a more severe effect on their brain. So student players who have gotten a concussion while playing, should be sitting out for a longer period of time before

3.6 million people are estimated to have concussions yearly. A concussion causes temporary loss of brain function leading to cognitive, physical and emotional symptoms, such as confusion, vomiting, headache, nausea, depression, disturbed sleep, moodiness, and amnesia. The worst result from a head concussion includes internal brain damage, and death. Athletes who play a contact sport must wear protective head gear. Athletes must wear headgear because it can lead to many types of injuries, and wearing

to some sort of a biomechanical force induced by either directly or indirectly as a hit or blow to the head (Facts and Prevention, 2015). Mild traumatic brain injury, which will be considered as equivalent term with concussion, was defined by the International Conference on Concussion in Sport as a complex pathophysiological process induced by biomechanical forces (Mccrory et al., 2013). This penetrating head injury will disrupt the normal function of the brain. The cause of sports-related brain injury

during a game should be required to sit out for longer periods of time. One reason for why athletes should sit out for longer periods of time, due to brain injury, is because non-notable side affects from a mere concussion could be something more. According to article 3; "A concussion can be difficult to diagnose, and failing to recognize the signs and symptoms in a timely fashion can have dire consequences". Meaning the if you can't see the symptoms of the athlete and have them return to play

Concussions in Student Athletes Aged 5-18 and the Impact on Academic Performance A concussion is defined as “a complex pathophysiological process affecting the brain, induced by traumatic biomechanical forces” (McCrory, Johnston, & Meeuwisse, 2005). Based on current research, findings show a relationship between academic performance and student athletes suffering from post concussion symptoms (Baker et al., 2015; Ransom et al., 2015; Swanson et al., 2017; Wasserman, Bazarian, Mapstone, Block, &

long-term effects caused by a concussion. Despite the fact that the understanding and awareness as to the severity of this traumatic brain injury (TBI) has greatly improved, concussions are commonly disregarded, undiagnosed and/or under-treated. Unlike an external injury that is easily seen, a concussion is an internal brain injury; therefore, without the use of diagnostic imaging, the concussion itself is invisible. However, symptoms can be helpful in diagnosing a concussion when diagnostic imaging is

Concussion: a trauma induced altercation in mental statues that may or may not result in the loss of consciousness, (Source 2). Many athletes are at risk of getting concussed every time they step onto the field or onto the court. While concussions are not visible, like a broken arm may be, they are still extremely dangerous if left untreated. When a player is released onto the field too early after the sustain a concussion, they have a higher risk of getting another more severe concussion. According

In medical terms, concussions are described as "a complex pathophysiologic process affecting the brain, induced by traumatic biomechanical forces" (Hunt, Paniccia, Reed, & Keightley, 2016, p. 749). Over the past couple of years, the number of concussions in athletics has increased drastically. According to the data released by the National High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance Study, in the school year 2005-06 there were 133,000 concussions, which was much less than the recent data of

Peg Kehret: Overcoming Polio Peg Kehret, a victim of polio, was paralyzed from the neck down, but regained full movement of her limbs and learned to walk again within seven months. She was diagnosed with three different types of polio at the age of twelve (Kehret 27). Polio, a deadly disease, killed many until the vaccine was created in 1955 by Jonas Saulk. It is now eradicated in most countries, but still exists in Asia, India, sub-Saharan Africa, and multiple republics of the country previously

hard hits can give you post concussion syndrome, a concussion, traumatic encephalopathy, and blurred vision and pain. Football hard hits are very dangerous because they can give you concussions and post concussion syndrome. A quote about concussions from hard hits is,” In 2014, more than 9,500 concussions were reported among high school football players in the U.S. At least eight high school players have died so far this year”. The quote shows how dangerous concussions are and how they can lead
