Second-Impact Syndrome: Myth or Reality?

Second-Impact Syndrome: Myth or Reality? provides an overview of several of the key issues and factors involved in mild traumatic brain injuries in sport. The DVD looks at second-impact syndrome (a complex pathophysiological process affecting the brain, induced by traumatic biomechanical forces) and discusses both what it is and what it is not. The DVD also reviews the evidence concerning second-impact syndrome, thereby allowing individuals to draw their own conclusion about whether this traumatic brain condition is myth, reality, or somewhere in between.
