Our Clear Lake, TX injury lawyers realize that if you’re an avid motorcyclist or athlete, you might already have experienced one or mild traumatic brain injuries. Researchers have been focusing scientific attention on athletes who suffer repeated concussions. These researchers have accumulated results showing that repeated mild traumatic brain injuries in children and adults potentially create long-term, cumulative problems.
The studies of Dr. Lassonde, a neuropsychologist working with the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens, shows continued brain deficits even three years after mild TBIs. Athletes who had suffered from 1 to 5 concussions all showed minor impairments in their thinking and motor skills compared to a comparison group that had not suffered TBIs.
The next phase in the research will examine whether the observed damage from TBIs correlates to earlier than average onset of more serious mental problems and degenerative disorders.
