@jrhiggy Additionally, the goal of my content is not to provide an accurate diagnosis, but rather to highlight sports injuries and encourage dialogue about sports medicine in real time.

@lgb1060 @theMSAvenger @WhoDatNation00 Traumatic brain injury can cause tremors or seizure, although it’s hard to say at this time.

[The Injury Guy @thatinjuryguy]

@theMSAvenger @WhoDatNation00 It’s called a fencing response, and is typically seen as a result of concussion or other head injury.

[The Injury Guy @thatinjuryguy]

Traumatic, i.e. caused by trauma. Concussions are considered traumatic brain injuries. After the injury, you can note the fencing response and what appears to be a brief period of unconsciousness.
