Running Head: CONCUSSION VERSUS AN ACL INJURY
ثبت نشده
چکیده
I wrote this paper for Kin 2058 Assessment and Evaluation of Athletic Injuries and Illness II (capstone class). This paper examines two of the most common injuries in sport participation, a concussion, and an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear. Both of these injuries cause psychological effects, in the case of a concussion, it is caused from the direct blow to the head, whereas an ACL tears psychological impact stems from fear. In comparing the psychological impacts of the two injuries, it is the ACL tear that has a greater psychological effect that lasts for a longer amount of time then the psychological impacts of a concussion.
