Last week, we discussed concussions in regards to the NHL and Derek Boogard but now the NBA (National Basketball Association) is releasing a concussion policy. The NBA will have a concussion management program run by Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher. The program will include protocols such as annual baseline neurological assessments and cognitive testing for ALL players, athletes will have to undergo a number of tests after having a concussion during a game before returning to play, and all information related to the concussion will be kept on file for future use and diagnosis.
