Injuries are inevitable in among children who play sports but are not
always taken seriously by the athlete or parent, Dr. Valarie Wong, a
pediatric and sports medicine specialist at Loma Linda University Medical
Center said during a sports camp put on by former NFL player Christian
Okoye.
.
It is far too common for kids to get back in the game after getting hit or
falling on their head, Wong told parents at the June 15 camp at the
Epicenter Sports Complex in Rancho Cucamonga. Parents and coaches need to
know how to identify a concussion.
.
An undetected concussion can quickly worsen or cause the player to suffer
other injuries, Wong said.
.
Parents and coaches can pressure young athletes to continue playing after
an injury, she said. Because of that, kids likely to shake off an injury
so they can continue to participate and not be pulled out of the game.
.
Head injuries should be evaluated by a healthcare professional with
experience assessing and managing concussions, Wong said.
.
Wong is doing research at the medical center to determine whether advanced
imaging techniques can be used to identify an athlete who has sustained a
severe concussion.
.
I hope to use these techniques to determine if kids who suffer from
concussions and other sports related head injuries are returning to play
too soon, Wong said.
