Fab to see PhD Researcher @MPRotundo’s work featured in @ExaminerSport calling for hits to the head sanctions in Hurling @officialgaa

Mario found that impacts to the side of the head were 2.7x more likely to result in visible signs of concussion than those to the front/back👇

Check out my latest paper in the IJMS on the characteristics of potential concussions in Hurling. With more answers come more questions... Stay tuned! Thanks to @ExaminerSport for featuring.

🤩PhD ASSESSMENTS🤩

Congratulations to our PhD Researchers @MPRotundo and @DSokolRandell who successfully completed their Initial Assessments. 👏👏

These projects are related to Head Impacts/Head Acceleration Events within #GAA & Soccer; supervised by Dr Greg Tierney et al!🧠⚽️

[Dr Willie Stewart @WillStewNeuro]

Reminder most former #soccer players we confirm #CTE in have no notable #concussion history but do have repetitive head impact - #heading - exposure.

And risk greater w high exposure field positions and longer careers

Football #concussion mgmt woeful but far from main issue

@WorldRugby As @WorldRugby launches its Brain Health Initiative, Scottish Rugby has produced a video to reinforce best practice around managing concussion in Scotland.

In elite GAA #Hurling, assessment of potential concussions is not meeting current GAA #concussion guidelines. We need standardized concussion assessment, training, & #education to improve the safety culture surrounding #HeadInjury.

[Mario P. Rotundo @MPRotundo]

Check out our newest paper on the assessment of potential concussions in Hurling. In the fastest field sport on earth, standardized and consistent concussion assessment must be ensured. @DrMDCusimano @DSokolRandell @EIRN_Ireland @GTBiomech

To guide player protection strategies relating to concussion in the GAA, we must first understand how these injuries occur. Check out our latest paper! @DSokolRandell. Special thanks to @drconordeasy @DrMDCusimano @gjtierney and @EIRN_Ireland

Check out our recent piece in the Irish Examiner! @DSokolRandell

[Dr. Michael D. Cusimano @DrMDCusimano]

We have been advocating for a temporary substitution for head injuries in soccer for years. Medical staff need to be given time to properly assess players, otherwise players may be sent back to play with a serious head injury

[Mario P. Rotundo @MPRotundo]

The research is out there, and incidents continue to occur. Players are not receiving adequate concussion assessment. Football, as well as the GAA, are behind the curve... How long will this continue?

"Football is behind the curve on this..."

Pat Nevin joins us to discuss the alarming head clash between David Luiz & Raul Jimenez and how the incident was dealt with

[Dr Willie Stewart @WillStewNeuro]

"Thiago Silva reveals he's been suffering from 'terrible' headaches after matches - because of the 'non-stop aerial duels and high pace of play' in the Premier League"

Wow.

Well done to @UCC_Medicine students @MPRotundo & @DSokolRandell whose study on the incidence and assessment of Potential Concussive Events (PCEs) in GAA promises to ensure safer play at all levels of the game

Is concussion management up to snuff in the GAA?

Excellent article by @kliston14 from last March... important concepts to consider in relation to our recent research. https://t.co/1sPcrlXTqp

Opinion: 'The culture of playing through pain and concussion in GAA needs to change' (via @the42_ie) https://t.co/ky4g20jV0e

[Terrace Talk @terracetalkrk]

UCC Students have shown that Inter County teams may not have managed concussion as well as they should @MPRotundo
