Coaches, players and parents face a slew of pamphlets, posters and videos
about these traumatic brain injuries that can affect up to 3.8 million
athletes each year. In the past five years, high school sports-related
concussions have increased by nearly 50 percent.
Administrative bodies have passed rules or laws requiring schools and
teams to have concussion management plans on file and placing stricter
limits on a players return following a concussion.
But after all the research, attention and paperwork, one fact remains most
stark about these attention-getting injuries: We dont yet know everything.
We have no idea what long-term damage is being done, said Dr. Kelsey
Logan, medical director for the sports concussion program at the Ohio
State University Sports Medicine Center. Were just getting more
conservative as time goes on.
Reaction time
When Logan took a faculty position at Ohio State following her fellowship
in 2006, she searched for a specialty about which she was passionate.
As an athlete, Logan suffered five concussions, so she began digging for
research in that area. There was precious little.
And this was just four years ago, she said.
Reaction to what some are calling a concussion crisis has occurred
quickly. Within the past six months, the Ohio High School Athletic
Association, National Federation of State High School Associations, NCAA
and House Energy and Commerce subcommittee have approved legislation
either setting guidelines for treating concussions or requiring schools to
firm up their plans for concussion management.
