Beskrivning
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in sports has become an important international public health issue over the past two decades. However, until recently, return to play decisions following a sports-related traumatic brain injury have been based on anecdotal evidence and have not been based on scientifically validated clinical protocols. Over the past decade, the field of Neuropsychology has become an increasingly important component of the return to play decision making process following TBI. Neuropsychological assessment instruments are increasingly being adapted for use with athletes throughout the world and the field of sports neuropsychology appears to be a rapidly evolving subspecialty. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the application of neuropsychological assessment instruments in sports, and it is structured to present a global perspective on contemporary research. In addition to a review of current research, Traumatic Brain Injury in Sports: An International Neuropsychological Perspective, presents a thorough review of current clinical models that are being implemented internationally within American and Australian rules football, soccer, boxing, ice hockey, rugby and equestrian sports.

Recensioner i media

"Over the past five years there have been dramatic developments in the area of sports related traumatic brain injury. From limited technical diagnostic testing we now have progressed to state-of-the-art neuropsychological assessment and brain imaging. This publication is a groundbreaking effort on an international scale and a significant contribution in the evaluation and management of concussion in sports." - Freddy H. Fu, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and University of Pittsburgh Athletic Department"The systematic study of brain injury in sport has provided us with important new insights into the predictors of short-term neuropsychological morbidity, as well as the dynamics of recovery from these injuries. This comprehensive volume by Lovell and colleagues provides a synthesis of what has been learned, the models of assessment that have been developed, and the unique challenges that arise in dealing with athletes at various levels of competition. Although focused on sports related brain injury, this book is relevant and important for any professional working with individuals who suffer from these injuries." - Robert A. Bornstein, The Ohio State University
