Concussion Care a Hot Topic For National Athletic Trainers’ Association

(Newswire.net — June 14, 2016) National Harbor, MD — The most common question circulating next week at 67th Annual Clinical Symposia & AT Expo for the National Athletic Trainer’s Association (NATA) will likely be, “What’s your concussion protocol?”

An estimated 5,000 athletic trainers and athletic directors and 350 exhibitors convene for the annual NATA convention to gather the latest in sport concussion management among other sports medicine advances to support student-athletes and training facilities. Neurologist Harry Kerasidis, M.D. specializes in sports concussion management, and developed a web-based, all-encompassing concussion system designed for athletic training called XLNTbrain Sport™ (booth No 6133). The tool, reported about widely and is being used nationwide by numerous schools and sports organizations, will be available to demonstrate. See how Dr. Kerasidis protocol compares to the NFL here: http://www.xlntbrain.com/features. His new book, “Concussion-ology: Redefining Sports Concussion Management For All Levels,” published in December.
