Concussion
کانکاشن / ضربه مغزی
A traumatic brain injury caused by biomechanical forces that can produce transient neurologic symptoms and functional disturbance.
Definition
A traumatic brain injury caused by biomechanical forces that can produce transient neurologic symptoms and functional disturbance. Sport-related concussion is a traumatic brain injury with signs and symptoms that can evolve over minutes or hours; normal routine structural imaging does not exclude concussion, and diagnosis is clinical.
Practical use
This definition is educational, not diagnostic; persistent, severe or worsening symptoms should be assessed by a qualified clinician. A suspected concussion warrants removal from risk and assessment by a qualified healthcare professional; return to sport should follow a supervised graduated process.
