Abstract:
The literature is clear that there is often a gap between the knowledge base of a certified athletic trainer and what they apply in practice. There is also evidence supporting ongoing review and updating a certified athletic trainer´s knowledge is critical to applying the information not provide more current and better care to concussed athletes. This presentation will define the significance of new evidence based research defining new parameters for CTE affliction.

Objectives:

  • Participants will be able to differentiate between concussion and sub concussion level injuries, relative to rate of recovery., 
  • Participants will be able to define principles of neuroanatomy which apply to the significance of Tau Protein and CTE., 
  • Participants will be able to compare and contrast the morphology of brain tissue for healthy vs. sufferers of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy., 
  • Participants will be able to define and apply principles of the Monro Kellie Doctrine to various TBI scenarios., 
  • Participants will be able to define the role of protein S100B and the blood-brain barrier in sub-concussive head injuries., 
  • Participants will be able to comprehend and differentiate between concussion and sub concussion level injuries., 
  • Participants will be able to will apply neuroanatomy and the blood brain barrier as components of brain trauma., 
  • Participants will be able to synthesize the potential long term ramifications of TBI relative to cognition, proprioception and balance., 
  • Participants will be able to compare and contrast the morphology of brain tissue for healthy vs. sufferers of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, ALS and Parkinsonism to include, size, structure and function.,
  • Participants will be able to the define role of protein S100B and the blood-brain barrier in sub-concussive head injuries.
