Athletic concussion contention continues

20.05.13

 

Although football season has ended, the long-term debates and potential lawsuits pertaining to concussions among athletes rage on. 

Recent seasons in particular have been filled with controversies concerning football player protection and the significance of concussions.

Many changes have been made to increase player safety, such as enhanced helmet technology, alterations to game play and a keener sideline eye on behalf of teams’ medical staff. However, the university’s Head Athletic Trainer John Smith says he is not sure how much of an effect those improvements will have in the long run.

“I just don’t think the [helmet] design is there yet and I am not sure it ever will get there,” Smith says. “It might be rule changes that are going to make the most dramatic changes in concussions—that’s when the real effect will show.”

Smith also says concussions are not a problem here and athletes return to play only after following the appropriate guidelines, he says. If anyone is still showing any symptoms associated with concussions, they will not be allowed to play, Smith says, and according to the Mayo Clinic,  these symptoms can include dizziness, problems concentrating and temporary memory loss.
