The incidence of concussion injuries is high irrespective of player ability, from professional to semi-professional and schoolboy rugby players. Concussion injuries are considered difficult to diagnose, particularly in an on field environment, and are often under-reported or unrecognised. In the South African setting medical professionals are often not present at practices and matches and coaches are therefore often required to identify and manage concussed players. Previous studies have identified that the risk of concussion may be reduced through coach education and subsequent implementation of skills training and the education of players. The aim of the study is to determine South African rugby coaches’ knowledge of the prevention, identification and management of concussion. 2015-01-04T14:23:01Z 2015-01-04T14:23:01Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11239 eng application/pdf Division of Physiotherapy Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
