Although there is no universally agreed upon definition among the medical communities, the following is a simplified definition of sports-related concussion: A traumatic brain injury that occurs through a bio-mechanical forces to the head or body that (temporarily) alters brain functions. A concussion is not a change in physical structure of the brain but a disruption of the neurological chemistry. The correlated functions associated with the injured area of the brain can cause a range of clinical signs. These include physical, cognitive, and even emotional signs/symptoms.
Common Shoulder Injuries
Shoulders are prone to injuries due to overuse and repetitive motions which can lead to several problems. These "wear and tear" shoulder injuries are often caused by overhead and throwing sports like baseball, tennis, and swimming, because of the high mechanical stress and extreme range of motion performed with the shoulder joint. Some common injuries include impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tears, and bursitis. Prolonged immobilization or untreated inflammation, usually with other comorbidities, increases the risk of Adhesive Capsulitis also known as "frozen shoulder".
