In our latest article on Concussion Prevention in football, we go to a town called Lumberton. It lies in the Southeastern part of the U.S. and they are taking the needed steps to protect their players from concussions. The Southeastern Health Foundation has just donated 12,500 dollars towards an new computerized concussion testing program. The program will allow the trainers on the teams in this region to have advanced access to determining if a player has a concussion or not. The system can measure how well the brain is recovering from the concussion and monitor there post-injur condition. With this new program they can prevent the cumulative effects of concussions after the injury. If I was playing in this league, I would feel very safe on the terms of knowing if I had a concussion or not. Having this new system in place gives the players a sense of security knowing that they will be properly evaluated for concussions. This is just one example of the conditions for preventing and detecting concussions are getting better. See you next time.
