At this time, there is no definitive predictor of recovery time from a concussion, and the anticipated recovery timeframe should be individualized for each patient. The body on the slab in front of him belonged to a fifty-year-old named Mike Webster, aka "Iron Mike," a Hall of Fame center for the Pittsburgh Steelers, one of the greatest ever to play the game. Michael and Frankie's message is urgent, moving and important, and a must-read for anyone involved in contact sports. Here she explains the scientific evidence for what happens to the brain and body after a concussion. The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine suggests an individualized approach for each patient and consideration of factors such as persistent symptoms, the number of lifetime concussions, previous prolonged recoveries from a concussion, and the perceived ease of sustaining a repeat concussion when deciding on continued athletic participation.

It tells the story of Pauline, who was 33 when a late football tackle caused a bleed in her brain which went undiscovered for 18 months. The second front in which Laskas succeeds -- and which really serves as the heart of the book --is in describing the specific findings Omalu made over the seven years to help raise awareness of the impact of this disease on many retired NFL players; and in how, instead of his findings being welcomed by the NFL and its appointed doctors, his findings were "marginalized" by many and completely rejected by others.After diagnosing a concussion, an outpatient observation by a responsible individual educated on warning signs requiring further evaluation is generally appropriate.

Michael played professionally in both England and Australia for Bristol, Bath and the Melbourne Rebels.

A greater number, severity, and duration of symptoms" with previous concussions can be predictive of longer recovery time. Healing the Traumatized Brain explains how the brain works, how injuries affect the brain, and how to use your brain's own power to recover. The development of symptoms within hours to days after a precipitating injury may still indicate a concussion.

a deeply moving and compelling tale of two people caught up in the consequences of repeated concussions - a tale so strong that it will help to change the whole nature of contact sports. The severity of the initial injury does not seem to correlate with the likelihood of developing the post-concussion syndrome. In the pediatric population, the involvement of schools and teachers to facilitate the patient's reintegration into academics is also of great importance. Even in my position, it was difficult to find information about post-concussive consequences and care.
