文摘

Besides the typical orthopedic injury risks in sports, especially in team sports with increased physical contact, brain injuries are common. These require a careful examination and a professional treatment. The formalization of Sport Neuropsychology in German-speaking countries is proceeding. In cooperation with universities and outpatient centers the VBG takes the contemporary leadership to improve the practical diagnostic and therapeutic procedure of concussed professional athletes. Along with the particular team doctor it is vital to treat the athlete corresponding to the established return-to-play protocol. Experienced sports-neuropsychologists and sports physicians can provide assistance.
