A 2020 study from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons showed between 2010 and 2017, concussions made up 22.5% of all high school injuries and were increasing in rate of occurrence.
Concussions have ruled the conversation around football for the better part of the last decade, but despite the growing awareness and regulations, numbers show they are only increasing, and not just in football, but in most high school sports.
Washington state became the first state to pass a Return to Play law in 2009, and by 2015, all 50 states and Washington D.C. had them in effect. NYU Langone Health’s Concussion Center is one of the leading institutions in concussion research in the United States. “We show there are differences between the brains of contact sport athletes and non-contact sport athletes,” said Dr. Yvonne Lui, vice chair of research at NYU Langone Health’s Radiology Department. “We’re trying to understand them now. So, concussion is difficult because you can’t take a sample of the brain.”
