What We Do





We conduct research initiatives that are continuing to change the way concussions and their clinical implications are viewed. 









Focuses



Assessment Diagnoses
Investigate how direct and indirect impacts result in concussion and evaluate the clinical implications of such impacts.


Long Term Effects
Conduct research to determine whether concussive and sub-concussive head impacts accelerate the decline in cognitive function typically associated with the aging process.

Treatment and Management
Contribute innovative solutions to improve athlete health and safety through injury prevention, early recognition, and management for individuals of all ages and athletic levels.



"Concussion Facts - What you should know" from the UM Injury Center


The University of Michigan Injury Center presents comments from national sport concussion experts who shared their knowledge at a recent Sport Concussion Summit in Ann Arbor. This research-based event offered a balanced view on a hot health topic of concern to many parents and athletes. You can find additional resources on this topic (including links to full presentations by the speakers interviewed in this video) at http://www.injurycenter.umich.edu/con.... 

We also recommend visiting CDC’s website devoted to this topic for a full range of resources: http://www.cdc.gov/headsup/youthsports/.
