TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Concussions: an underdiagnosed problem for athletes? JO - Journal of orthopaedic and sports physical therapy SP - 633 EP - 633 VL - 42 IS - 7 N2 - Ignoring symptoms of a concussion and continuing to play after receiving a blow or jolt to the head can be dangerous, make symptoms worse, and delay recovery. Repeated concussions can lead to a longer recovery and may result in long-term problems. Screening tools include checklists of symptoms or quick tests that can help detect a concussion. A study published in the July 2012 issue of used these screening tools to measure changes in player function both before and after an American football season.
