Neck strengthening reduces the risk of concussion: A critical appraisal topic
Clinical Scenario: A concussion is a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that is caused by a direct or indirect blow. Symptom duration and severity vary depending on the individual and trauma. There are multiple predisposing factors that can increase the risk of concussion such as collision sports, sport position, history of concussions, age, being female, and neck strength. Neck strength is a risk factor that can be assessed and modified to reduce the risk of concussions.
