So when Dr. Bailes grabbed a notebook from a reporter recently and wrote
down his seven suggestions to curtail what experts call a concussion
"epidemic" in all levels of sports today, that meant he felt he had
something important to share.
His seven points:
1. Continue improvement in helmet technology: The NFL's head, neck and
spine medical committee, which met Dec. 8-9, seeks to open the league to a
wider variety of headgear.
2. Limit exposures in practice: Research found that practices with no or
lighter pads, known as shells, cause players to knock heads more often for
fear of hurting other, unprotected body parts. "They just go 'bam, bam
bam' [helmet on helmet]. That builds sub-concussive blows all day long."
Dr. Joseph Maroon of UPMC Sports Medicine, who is the Steelers'
neurosurgeon and a member of the NFL's committee on mild traumatic brain
injury, said that "the NFL has already acted on that to some extent,
reducing the impacts in practice."
3. Enforce existing rules on helmet-to-helmet contact:
