Research indicates that protocol regarding concussion assessment management at the high school and collegiate level is advancing, however, there are holes in consistency that need to be filled in order to ensure accuracy. The purpose of this synthesis was to review the literature on concussion assessment management in high school and collegiate athletics. The results indicate that the lack of consistency comes as a direct result of key factors including a school’s lack of funding and lack of resources, the emphasis placed on the self-efficacy of athletic trainers, and the willingness of athletic trainers to follow guidelines provided for the testing methods.Related items

Effects of Cumulative Concussions on High School and College Athletes and Concussion Prevention StrategiesConcussions are a common injury that can occur at almost any time. There are many different causes of these injuries, but athletic participation is one of the most common. There are many different ways in which sustaining multiple concussions can have an impact on your overall health and well being not only immediately after the injury, but also moving well into the future. Although these injuries cannot be completely prevented in athletics, there are steps that we can take that can help to limit the number of these injuries in athletics.

The Short- and Long-term Effects of Sport-related Concussions to Ice Hockey PlayersAbstract For many decades, sport-related concussions have impacted athletes with little concern and awareness given to their short- and long-term effects. Recent events, however, have brought much-needed attention to the need for increased investigation of the impacts and effects of sport-related concussions on a broad level. To this end, this synthesis reviewed literature regarding a cumulation of the known short- and long-term effects which sport-related concussions (SRC) have on ice hockey players. The data for this synthesis was collected using the EBSCOHOST search engine found on SUNY-Brockport’s Drake Memorial Library online search website. The 11 studies in the critical mass were obtained using keywords in the SPORTDiscus, PubMed Central, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Academic Search Complete and Google Scholar databases. Three research questions were answered: (a) What are the effects of sport related concussions (SRC) on ice hockey players physiological and cognitive functioning, (b) What are the psychological effects of SRC’s on ice hockey players, and (c) How does sustaining an SRC affect when ice hockey players return to play and their susceptibility to another injury? Results reveal that there are many detrimental short- and long-term effects of SRC’s including a decrease in cognitive mapping, reaction time, motor-visual functioning, a poorer quality of life (QoL), and mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder as. Also, athletes are more susceptible to future injuries after suffering SRC’s. Findings can assist ice hockey players, their coaches, and parents better understand how SRC’s affect athletes, as well as how to prevent both further injuries and to prevent players from having to give up playing ice hockey due to SRC’s.

Will Strengthening the Cervical Muscles of the Neck Diminish the Risk of Concussions?Recent research has postulated that strengthening the muscles surrounding the head-neck vertebrae may help minimize the risk of concussion in football. Although no study has confirmed that stronger and larger neck muscles will minimize football related concussions, nevertheless sport practitioners have incorporated a wide array of strength training protocols focused on strengthening this area in an attempt to dissipate the force of an impact away from the brain. The purpose of this synthesis was to examine if a critical mass of literature supported the perception that stronger and larger neck muscles facilitate the attenuation of impact forces to the head thus minimizing the risk of concussion. The studies reviewed within the critical mass of this synthesis related to neck strength and the diminished risk of concussion in sport failed to support this direct correlation. However a number of studies indirectly showed that cervical musculature can minimize several risk factors of concussions such as head impact angular, rotational and linear acceleration. Additionally it was deduced that neck stiffness or muscle activation upon impact rather than cervical size and strength alone may be the greatest contributor to the dissipation of forces to the head upon impact. This information provides a better understanding of the risk factors associated with a concussion and how an athlete’s cervical anatomy is affected and can affect the onslaught of a concussive force. More research is needed to study the best strength training strategies possible as well as if and how polymeric training rather than isotonic resistance training improves the cervical musculature responses to a traumatic head impact and eliminate the risk of concussion.
