A concussion is a minor or less severe type of brain injury, which may also be called a traumatic brain injury. A concussion can affect how the brain works for a awhile. It may lead to headaches, changes in alertness, or loss of consciousness. A concussion can result from a fall, sports activities, or car accidents. A big movement of the brain (called jarring) in any direction can cause a person to lose alertness (become unconscious). How long the person stays unconscious may be a sign of how bad the concussion is.
Weâre a national leader in the care and management of concussions. Nationwide Childrenâs Hospital Sports Medicine wants you to be aware of concussions and how to keep your young athlete safe. Safety begins by educating yourself! A concussion may be caused by a blow, bump, or jolt to the head or by any fall or hit that jars the brain. This âinvisibleâ injury disrupts the brainâs normal physiology which can affect mental stamina and function, causing the brain to work longer and harder to complete even simple tasks.
