What Is A Concussion?
“A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This sudden movement causes the brain to bounce or twist in the skull...sometimes stretching and damaging brain cells” (www.cdc.gov)
What To Know About Concussions
“Helmets are protective for skull fracture, they do not prevent against concussion.”
- www.mayoclinic.org
“Children are at a higher risk of concussion than adults, due to spending more time in activities that incur risk, less ability to judge risk and greater impulsivity.”
- www.mayoclinic.org
