High School Head Injuries Not Necessarily Linked to CDE
You’ve seen the movie “Concussion” with Will Smith and got that shudder up your spine for our high school players (aka. future Pro Bowlers) right? Well, a new JAMA Neurology study is saying hold that thought. High school football head injuries don’t necessarily ever lead to cognitive impairment, nor to CDE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy.) Of course, it’s a tough sport and our players need to be safe and keep that helmet on.
The “Concussion” movie sent that shudder up your spine for our #highschoolfootball players, but a JAMA Neurology study suggests that high school football head injuries don’t necessarily ever lead to cognitive impairment or CDE. No matter what though, let’s keep ’em safe. #healthpic.twitter.com/iSeF95bmFs
