We discuss the symptoms, treatment and prevention of concussions with Dr. Adrian Svingos from the Kennedy Krieger Institute’s Center for Brain Injury Recovery.
Concussion Source
It’s estimated that each year between 1 and 2 million children experience a concussion. Falls are the primary source for toddlers and preschoolers, while driving and sports accidents cause the most concussions in teens.
Concussion Symptoms
Parents and coaches should learn the symptoms of a concussion, some of which are not immediately apparent. Blackouts are rare. 80% of kids never experience a blackout. Symptoms can include headaches, nausea, balance problems, emotional and sleep changes.
There are many misconceptions surrounding the treatment of concussions and the rules have changed as more is learned.
Concussion Prevention
Coaches are changing how they train their student athletes to prevent concussions. There are less contact practices, more strength training and better technique.
