Abstract

The authors' studies have yielded a great deal of data regarding the biomechanics of head injury and the clinical picture of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) in the National Football League (NFL). The research has demonstrated the link between the effects of biomechanical forces on the brain and the clinical symptomatology of the concussed players. New insights into the mechanisms of injury are leading to new ways of protecting football players from the effects of MTBI. The clinical data validate the effectiveness of the current NFL physician approach to the evaluation and treatment of the player who sustains MTBI. There are still many more questions to answer and much more knowledge to be gained from continuing research in this area.

摘要

作者们的研究已经产生了大量关于国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）中头部损伤生物力学以及轻度创伤性脑损伤（MTBI）临床症状的数据。该研究已经证明了生物力学力对大脑的影响与脑震荡球员临床症状之间的联系。对损伤机制的新见解正引领着保护橄榄球运动员免受MTBI影响的新方法。临床数据证实了NFL目前对遭受MTBI球员进行评估和治疗的医生方法的有效性。在这个领域持续研究仍有许多问题有待解答，还有更多知识有待获取。
