Does Mechanism of Injury Affect Recovery After Sport-Related Concussion in Basketball? A Pilot Study
In this pilot study of concussed high school basketball players, head-to-ground was the most common concussion mechanism, with similar rates during offensive and defensive plays. Although head-to-body contact increased acute symptoms, other mechanisms did not predict recovery time. Given the limited information on concussions in basketball, the preliminary results of this pilot study may help inform larger studies on basketball SRC mechanisms.
