18 Effective Sports Concussion Program Education & Awareness (Pre-Injury) On Field Observation, Signs & Symptoms Recognition When in Doubt, Sit Them Out Post Game-Day Evaluation & Management by Healthcare Professionals Activity Treatment/ Management Medical Physical, Cognitive (Academics) Activity Gradual Return-To-Play Protocol Return to Play Needs Medical OK Coach, Parent, Student-athlete Medical/ Healthcare Professional
19 Recognizing a Concussion Signs and Symptoms Signs observed by coach, parent, teammates include: Is confused about assignment Appears dazed or stunned Forgets plays Is unsure of game, score, or opponent Moves clumsily Answers questions slowly Loses consciousness Shows behavior or personality changes Can t recall events prior to hit Can t recall events after hit Symptoms reported by athlete include: Headache Nausea Balance problems or dizziness Double or fuzzy vision Sensitivity to light or noise Feeling sluggish Feeling foggy or sluggish Concentration or memory problems Confusion
20
21 Key Elements in Recognizing a Possible Concussion 1. Blow to the head or other part of body with force of the impact transferred to the head 2. You recognize a change in player s function 3. Refer to your Signs & Symptoms card cdc.org/concussion
22 Physical/cognitive Rest Activity can: Exacerbate symptoms Prolong sx duration
23 Return-To-Play Same-Day It is essential to understand: Younger athletes recover more slowly It takes time for all signs & symptoms to develop Safest course of action is to hold an athlete out When in doubt, sit them out
24 Return-To-Play Same-Day It is essential to understand A player with suspected/diagnosed concussion should NOT be allowed to return to play on the same day as the injury McCory P, et al. Clin J Sport Med 2009
25 Premature Return to Play Subdural hematoma Second Impact Syndrome Prolong recovery
26 Catastrophic Head Injuries in High School and College Football National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research data from cases 92 cases were in high school players 39% of athletes at time of catastrophic injury were playing with residual symptoms from a previous concussion Boden et al. AJSM 2007; 35:
27 Return-To-Play Post-Game Day Concerns Prolonging recovery from the current concussion 2-4X increased risk for recurrent concussion Post-concussive syndrome 5-8% of MTBI Cumulative brain trauma
28 Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy CTE= progressive neurodegenerative disease Long-term consequence of repetitive closed head injuries No definitive pre-mortem diagnosis On autopsy of brain, histologically identified Risk factors include head trauma, presence of ApoE3 or ApoE4 allele, military service, old age 28
29 Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Insidious clinical presentation Begins with cognitive & emotional disturbances Can progress to Parkinsonian symptoms Exact mechanism not been precisely defined Suggested due to ongoing metabolic & immunologic cascade (immunoexcitotoxicity) No treatment 29
30 Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Unanswered questions: How do we identify athletes at risk at young age? How many concussions is TOO many? Prevention? How does this factor influence RTP decision? 30
31 Return-To-Play Post-Game Day Determine the athlete is asymptomatic at-rest before resuming any exertional activity - Amnesia may be permanent Utilize progressive aerobic and resistance exercise challenge tests prior to full RTP
32 Neuropsychological testing Only one component of the evaluation process Useful in identifying cognitive functioning/ impairment during recovery Useful to understand effects on school learning and performance Complex process requiring proper personnel with training Administering the tests Interpreting the tests Normal test scores alone do not indicate recovery
33 Neuropsychological Testing neuropsych test concussion
34 Prevention No convincing evidence for mouthguards or face shield Full face protection may decrease severity of concussion in hockey Helmets decrease the risk for more severe brain injury/skull fractures Benson 2009
35 Concussion Remove from practice or play Do not leave the player alone Healthcare provider evaluation following the injury Return to play- medically supervised stepwise progression Complete recovery before return to play
36 Youth Sports Concussions Student athletes
37 What is this game worth? The rest of the season? The rest of the athlete s career? The rest of the athlete s life?

40 Engrossed House Bill 1824 Requiring the adoption of policies for the management of concussion & head injury in youth sports All student athletes and parents/guardians sign an information sheet regarding concussion prior to each season. School districts to work with the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) to develop information and policies on educating coaches, youth athletes, and parents about the nature and risk of concussion including the dangers of premature return to practice or play after a concussion.
41 Engrossed House Bill 1824 Requiring the adoption of policies for the management of concussion and head injury in youth sports. Any athlete suspected of suffering a concussion is removed from play until they receive written clearance for return to practice and play by a licensed health care provider trained in the evaluation and management of concussions.
42 May 14 th 2009 Zackery Lystedt Law

46 Why Players Don t Report Concussions The top reason athletes don t report concussions is NOT for fear of losing their position! It is LACK OF KNOWLEDGE Why Concussion Was Not Reported (McCrea 2004) Did not think it was serious enough Did not want to leave the game Did not know it was a concussion Did not want to let down teammates 66% 41% 36% 22% Delaney (2002) found that only 23.4% of concussed college football players and 19.8% of concussed soccer players realized they had suffered a concussion McCrea M et al. Unreported concussion in high school football players: implications for prevention. Clin J Sport Med Jan;14(1):13-7 Delaney JS et al. Concussions among university football and soccer players. Clin J Sport Med Nov;12(6):331-8
47 We need to educate players Coaches, parents, and officials too
48 Finally Do not let a injured athlete back into practice or games until they have been evaluated and cleared in writing by a licensed healthcare provider trained in the evaluation and management of concussions. That is not only the Law (in Washington); It Is The Right Thing To Do!
