Head Injuries In Football Summary
In “Head And Neck Injuries In Football (Soccer)” Ammar Al-Kashmiri and J. Scott Delaney examine how concussions happen in soccer, what happens to the head when concussed, and how they can be prevented. Al-Kashmiri and Delaney go in depth on the incidence, distribution, and possible control of concussions, making known the increase in head injuries as well as providing multiple studies and statistics for sports related concussions. Transitioning into the biomechanics of a concussion, the authors explain how most concussions in soccer happen, when and where concussions are more likely to occur, and the effect of different types of contact with the head in regard to severity of concussion. Even if an initial head injury does not result in a concussion,
cumulative brain injuries can occur as a result of subconcussive blows, leading to permanent brain damage. Soccer is increasing in popularity, and the more popular it becomes, the more people there will be at risk of head injuries. Because of the increasing popularity, it is important that everyone understands what concussions are and how they can be prevented.
