Causes of Post-Concussion Syndrome
Sports-Related Causes
Sports is the most common cause of concussions and post-concussion syndrome. Damage to the brain caused by twisting, unexpected falls, or direct forces can be a major risk factor. Of all activities, boxing is known as the riskiest one. A knockout is most likely to cause a concussion or even an acute loss of consciousness. Other forms of sports with high risks include ice hockey and football. Indeed, almost all scholastic team activities, such as basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, or cheerleading, can cause concussions in some way. With the advancement in sports sciences, fortunately, more medical equipment and device can help athletes prevent these problems. [6]
