Dr. Cleaveland warns of concussion risks
2009
Overview
A: \"I regard brain injury as the most dangerous on an 'injury scale.' The problem of concussions in particular is that most are not associated with changes on brain scans. We have no way to measure cumulative effects of multiple concussions until it is almost too late.\" A: \"Concussions are on the rise because of heavier players who move faster. Force equals mass times acceleration. Equipment improvements have not kept up with the this. At UNC, studies are ongoing that measure significant blows to helmet-protected heads of players. I've read that the average lineman sustains up to 1000 significant blows to the head annually. Increasing publicity is due to the high-profile, former NFL players such as John Mackey who are now incapacitated by concussion-related dementia. I suspect that most concussions go undiagnosed because of the reluctance of players to report symptoms and risk the loss of playing time.\"
