Concussions and Women
Little is known about the effects of traumatic brain injuries, such as concussions, on women, because the majority of studies have focused on men. However, one study shows that women athletes are 50 percent more likely than male athletes to have a sports-related concussion. Unfortunately, regardless of gender, for most concussion patients, visual problems are often overlooked during the initial evaluation. To address this, the non-profit NORA and PINK Concussions has developed a new educational resource, “Women and Concussions,” that provides some helpful information on why concussions might affect women differently than men. noravisionrehab.org
