Groundbreaking research on concussions offered free: University of Calgary
Global News
People can now access best practices and tools to recognize, assess and treat concussions through a free online program at the University of Calgary.
New best practices — with tools to prevent, recognize, assess and treat concussions — as well as new return-to-sport strategies are now being offered free to anyone in an updated online program offered through the Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of Calgary.
Dr. Kathryn Schneider, associate professor and clinician scientist in the Sport Injury Prevention Research Centre, says it’s important to get new information to anyone who wants to learn about concussions and how best to treat athletes and loved ones.
“Research is continuing to evolve rapidly and that’s where it is so important to make sure recommendations are updated regularly.”
Ben Binder Nord, a 16-year-old hockey player at Edge School, says he knows firsthand how valuable Schneider’s knowledge can be.
He says he suffered a concussion after being hit twice in one game two years ago.
“I got a blind-side hit and whiplash, hit my head really hard on the ice. I kept playing and noticed symptoms of a concussion: blurred vision and not really feeling into it.”
He says he lost a month of school and four months of hockey. For Binder Nord, it was a struggle at times.
But after following protocols set out by Schneider, Binder Nord says he is better than ever.
