A new analysis also suggests a need for more research on concussions related to sports with the potential for high-velocity impact or falls from great heights.
Children aged 5-12 years with concussion have similar recovery trajectories, regardless of whether the injury is linked to sports or to other causes, such as falls, new data indicated.
No significant differences in postinjury recovery curves were found between participants with sport-related concussions and those with non-SRC. The latter injuries resulted from causes such as falls and objects dropped on heads. SRC and non-SRC showed a nonlinear association with time, with symptoms decreasing over time.
“Children do need to return to their lives. They need to return to school,” said Ledoux. “They can have accommodations while they return to school, but just returning to school has huge benefits because you’re reintegrating the child into their typical lifestyle and socialization as well.” Injuries resulting from assaults and motor vehicle crashes can involve damage beyond concussions, Ledoux said. Including these cases would not allow for an apples-to-apples comparison of SRC and non-SRC, she added.wrote that the researchers had done “a beautiful job highlighting this important nuance.
“These traditional terms often connote a permanent syndrome or assumption that the concussion itself is solely responsible for 100% of symptoms, which can be harmful to a patient’s recovery,” the editorialists wrote. “Conversely, PSAC offers room for the clinician to discuss how other causes may be maintaining, magnifying, or mimicking concussion symptoms.
