Concussions, What Are They and What Can We Do About Them?

Abstract

What kind of injury is most detrimental to athletes at onset and later in their lives?  What kind of sports does this injury occur in most frequently?  How does this injury affect the athlete’s body from the onset to years down the line?  In this chapter we will investigate the answers to all these questions and more as we investigate brain injuries, and more specifically concussions.
