A concussion is a type of brain injury caused by a hit to the head or strong shaking of the head and body. It can happen in sports, car accidents, or falls and can be quite serious. In 2014, there were about 2.5 million visits to the emergency room, hospitalizations, or deaths due to brain injuries, including concussions, in the United States. Falls were the most common cause, especially for older people.
Concussions also happen in sports, with about 16% of all high school sports injuries being concussions in 2017 - 2018. It's essential to get quick medical help when a concussion occurs.
