Concusion boosts risk of fresh injury

Post by horslips »

Came across this in the In Brief section of the current edition of News Scientist. It reports work carried out by Dominique Dubois at the University of Central Florida, Gainesville. It headlines with the statement "For up to 3 months after a concussion atheletes have an increased likelihood of a musculoskeletal injury to the lower limbs". Although this study looked at American football it is an interesting article in the context of not only the IRB focus on head injury but also the seemingly endless injury lists that top teams carry.

There is a lot of evidence that indicates that drinking alcohol after a game significantly hinders recovery from soft tissue injuries.
