The Issue
• Concussion awareness has increased
astronomically in recent years.

• The NATA, NCAA, CDC and other
professional and medical organizations
have well-established guidelines for
concussion management.
![Page 6: University of Mary Washington, Department of Campus …students.umw.edu/wellness/.../Eagle-Care-–-A-Sport-Club...2012.pdf · •The UMW Sport Club program now supports 23 clubs](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ad500517f8b9a48398d0454/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Virginia and 38 other states now have
laws and provisions in place designed to
protect athletes from problems associated
with a diagnosed concussion.
![Page 7: University of Mary Washington, Department of Campus …students.umw.edu/wellness/.../Eagle-Care-–-A-Sport-Club...2012.pdf · •The UMW Sport Club program now supports 23 clubs](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ad500517f8b9a48398d0454/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• “[The] game should come in a distant
second when a player’s future cognitive
ability hangs in the balance,” from an
editorial in the local Fredericksburg

• There is lack of a national peer standard in
campus recreation for sport club
concussion management.

Pearls
• Concussions and other brain injuries can
be serious and potentially life threatening
injuries.
![Page 33: University of Mary Washington, Department of Campus …students.umw.edu/wellness/.../Eagle-Care-–-A-Sport-Club...2012.pdf · •The UMW Sport Club program now supports 23 clubs](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ad500517f8b9a48398d0454/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Research indicates that these injuries can
also have serious consequences later in
life if not managed properly at the time of
the initial incident.
![Page 34: University of Mary Washington, Department of Campus …students.umw.edu/wellness/.../Eagle-Care-–-A-Sport-Club...2012.pdf · •The UMW Sport Club program now supports 23 clubs](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ad500517f8b9a48398d0454/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• A concussion occurs when there is a direct
or indirect insult to the brain. As a result,
impairment of mental functions such as
memory, balance/equilibrium and vision
may occur.
![Page 35: University of Mary Washington, Department of Campus …students.umw.edu/wellness/.../Eagle-Care-–-A-Sport-Club...2012.pdf · •The UMW Sport Club program now supports 23 clubs](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ad500517f8b9a48398d0454/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• It is important to recognize that many
sport-related concussions do not result in
a loss of consciousness.
![Page 36: University of Mary Washington, Department of Campus …students.umw.edu/wellness/.../Eagle-Care-–-A-Sport-Club...2012.pdf · •The UMW Sport Club program now supports 23 clubs](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ad500517f8b9a48398d0454/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• As a result, all suspected head injuries
must be taken seriously.
![Page 37: University of Mary Washington, Department of Campus …students.umw.edu/wellness/.../Eagle-Care-–-A-Sport-Club...2012.pdf · •The UMW Sport Club program now supports 23 clubs](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ad500517f8b9a48398d0454/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Coaches and teammates are crucial in
identifying student-athletes who may have
sustained a concussion because a
concussed athlete may not be aware of
their condition or may be trying to hide
their injury to remain in practice or
competition.
![Page 38: University of Mary Washington, Department of Campus …students.umw.edu/wellness/.../Eagle-Care-–-A-Sport-Club...2012.pdf · •The UMW Sport Club program now supports 23 clubs](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ad500517f8b9a48398d0454/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Pearls
• A student-athlete MAY NOT return to
practice or competition without the written
consent of a concussion specialist or other
physician.
![Page 70: University of Mary Washington, Department of Campus …students.umw.edu/wellness/.../Eagle-Care-–-A-Sport-Club...2012.pdf · •The UMW Sport Club program now supports 23 clubs](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ad500517f8b9a48398d0454/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
• Once the physician has cleared the
student-athlete to return to play, it is
strongly recommended that the athlete is
progressed back to full activity following
the step-wise process detailed below.
![Page 71: University of Mary Washington, Department of Campus …students.umw.edu/wellness/.../Eagle-Care-–-A-Sport-Club...2012.pdf · •The UMW Sport Club program now supports 23 clubs](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ad500517f8b9a48398d0454/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
• Progression is individualized, and will be
determined on a case by case basis.
![Page 72: University of Mary Washington, Department of Campus …students.umw.edu/wellness/.../Eagle-Care-–-A-Sport-Club...2012.pdf · •The UMW Sport Club program now supports 23 clubs](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ad500517f8b9a48398d0454/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
• Factors that may affect the rate of
progression include: previous history of
concussion, duration and type of
symptoms, age of the athlete, and sport in
which the athlete participates.
![Page 73: University of Mary Washington, Department of Campus …students.umw.edu/wellness/.../Eagle-Care-–-A-Sport-Club...2012.pdf · •The UMW Sport Club program now supports 23 clubs](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051800/5ad500517f8b9a48398d0454/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
• An athlete with a prior history of
concussion, one who has had an extended
duration of symptoms, or one who is
participating in a collision/contact sport
may be progressed more slowly.

– Complete cognitive rest. Activities requiring
concentration and attention may worsen symptoms
and delay recovery.

– Light exercise. This step should not begin until the
athlete is no longer having concussion symptoms and
is cleared by a physician for further activity. At this
point the athlete may begin walking or riding an
exercise bike. No weight-lifting.

• If post-concussion symptoms occur at any
stage, the student-athlete should stop the
activity and the treating physician should
be contacted for additional evaluation.
