Fast Facts
.
A concussion is a brain injury and all are serious.
Most concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
Recognition and proper response to concussions when they first occur can
help prevent further injury or even death.
.
What is a Concussion?
.
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury, or TBI, caused by a
bump, blow, or jolt to the head that can change the way your brain
normally works. Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that
causes the head to move rapidly back and forth. Even a ding, getting your
bell rung, or what seems to be mild bump or blow to the head can be
serious.
.
Concussions can occur in any sport or recreation activity. So, all
coaches, parents, and athletes need to learn concussion signs and symptoms
and what to do if a concussion occurs.
