What Dancers, Teachers, and Directors Need to Know About Concussions - Pointe Magazine While professional sports organizations have strict protocols for managing concussions, most ballet companies lack even basic procedures.

Another group at risk for #mildtraumaticbraininjury is #dancers. But unlike in sports, dance teachers have no established #concussion protocols. This leaves decisions in the hands of dancers, who may push themselves to return too soon, risking their health. #mTBI pointemagazine.com/what-dancers...

Lifetime concussion history linked to depression, anxiety in former college athletes Risks for anxiety and depression increased among former college athletes with three or more lifetime concussions, according to findings published in Neurology. Steven Broglio, PhD, ATC, director...

Study shows risks for anxiety & depression increase among former college athletes with 3+ lifetime #concussions. The researchers called lifetime #mTBI history “the most common predictor of adverse self-reported health outcomes within 5 years of #braininjury. www.healio.com/news/neurolo...

Brain injuries remain under-reported – Proctor Brain Injury Awareness Month is an opportunity to advocate for improved concussion care and support for those affected.

Despite increasing awareness, #concussions & #mildtraumaticbraininjuries remain under-reported. #mTBI is a common reason for ER visits, but many people never get checked out, meaning actual numbers are likely much higher than official numbers. #braininjury #TBI www.qlsproctor.com.au/2026/03/brai...

#Concussionsymptoms don't always include loss of consciousness but may include: #headache, #nausea and #vomiting, #confusion, #dizziness, #exhaustion, #blurredvision, #personalitychanges,
#sensitivity to light or noise, #slurred speech and #impaired communication. #mtbi www.ndtv.com/health/loss-...

Brain’s protective barrier stays leaky for years after playing contact sports Damage to the blood–brain barrier is linked to immune changes and cognitive decline.

A new study shows that the blood–brain barrier can be damaged and leaky decades after #concussion. This seems to trigger a long-lasting immune response that is closely tied to cognitive decline. www.nature.com/articles/d41... #mildtraumaticbraininjury #mtbi #tbi #concussionrecovery

The Effect of Aerobic Exercise on Post-concussion Recovery in Athletes: A Narrative Review Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), in particular sports-related concussions (SRCs), are a significant health concern for young athletes in the United States. Historically, treatment has consisted of pro...

This study of athletes is more evidence for starting light exercise quickly after #concussion. But what's right for athletes after #braininury might not be right for the average person after #mTBI. I was quite fit but exercise inevitably triggered headaches. www.cureus.com/articles/409...

Three line graphs show changes over time for 'Control' and 'T-MD' groups. Graph A, 'CP screen total score', declines. Graph B, 'IMPACT processing speed', rises. Graph C, 'VOMS VMS total', also shows a decline over time. Time points are Baseline, 2 Wk, and 4 Wk.

RCT: Among adults with #mTBI, targeted multidomain interventions and usual care behavioral management resulted in similar improvements in overall symptom severity and patient-perceived recovery over 4 weeks. ja.ma/3NxUjew

Stacked bar graph showing frequency of sleep trajectory, % vs. Group. Groups are mTBI, OI, and TDC. Sleep trajectories are new onset, chronic, improving, and normal. Normal sleep trajectory is most frequent in all the groups.

Children with #mTBI were more likely to develop new sleep disturbances than controls, and postinjury sleep problems were closely associated with behavioral difficulties, but not with cognitive or brain structural outcomes.

One thing I've been reminded of during my #concussion recovery is that every #braintrauma is as different as every person. And that means different things will help different people with #mTBI. Trust your perceptions. Do what works for you. Believe in yourself.

A table compares Neurobehavior, Psychological, and Cognitive measures across 'MD-resilient,' 'Mild risk-NP,' 'MD risk-Cog,' and 'MD risk-NP' groups. Values vary, indicated by a color gradient from blue to red, showing differences in outcomes.

This study of US service members with mild traumatic brain injury (#mTBI) identified 4 key post-deployment clinical outcome subtypes that evolved over time, underscoring the need to appreciate the heterogeneity of brain injury and mTBI outcomes. ja.ma/4q2mWhw
