| Hot Topic "No need for helmet" |
| |
“No need for helmet” – The Advertiser, Thursday April 22nd 2010, article Andrew Capel - Dr Andrew Potter quotes.
Adelaide chief medical officer, Dr Andrew Potter (Fellow of Sports Medicine Australia) said research into head knocks in AFL and NFL matches show helmets do not prevent concussions.
“There’s still no real evidence to suggest wearing a helmet is going to alter the concussions in our game” Dr Potter said.
“What the research shows is that concussions don’t seem to occur because of where you hit your head but where the head rotates and how the brain actually spins inside the skull.”
“We’ve reviewed all the literature and while some people with a history of concussions feel more confident wearing a helmet, there’s no evidence to suggest it makes a difference.”
