摘要:

In their approach to managing athletes who sustain concussions, sports physicians differ at least as widely as do the many published guidelines on the subject. The scarcity of scientific evidence makes practical decisions about when an athlete can safely return to the field difficult. Efforts to forge a consensus are underway, but controversy persists around such questions as whether a brief loss of consciousness should be classified as a severe concussion.

摘要:

In briefAn important medicolegal issue is how best to resolve disputes about an athlete's medical eligibility. Team physicians typically recommend against athletic participation when they feel that it will pose an unreasonable risk of injury to an athlete who has an abnormality. But such athletes may cite federal laws designed to protect the disabled and claim a right to participate. The legal framework for resolving sports-participation disputes involving physically impaired athletes is still developing. Recent case law reflects a split decision regarding the legality of excluding athletes whose condition, in the opinion of the team physician, exposes them to an increased risk of significant harm.
