About 3.8 million sports-related concussions occur each year in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 5 to 10 percent of athletes will experience a concussion in any given sports season. Many of these injuries go unreported and undiagnosed, leading to mismanagement and premature return to activity.
