Abstract des Autors
In sports medicine, doctors and others providing athletic care recognise and manage a spectrum of brain injury. Unlike severe brain injury, however, the management of concussion is mostly derived from anecdotal experience. In many cases current management practices have more in common with mythology than science. In this era of evidence based medicine the challenge for sports medicine is to develop a scientific approach to this common clinical problem. It has been 1000 years since the first clinical description of concussion by the Arabic physicians and the time has come to replace management myths and clinical anecdotes with medical science.
