26 Wednesday, April 10, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon CONCUSSIONS: Preventing second incident is key Continued from page 8 Nugget. <Whether it9s just an ankle sprain or a concus- sion, you know when they9re off, when they9re just not themselves.= When an athlete has a con- cussion, there is a strict pro- tocol that has to be observed before they can get back into action. Schmidt would like to see parents and students made fully aware of just how exten- sive the protocol is. To get back on the field, an athlete who has experi- enced a concussion must be asymptomatic for 24 hours; back in school full-time with no accommodation; have had a post-concussion test within normal range based on their baseline; gone through a gradual exercise progres- sion over several days; and 4 critically 4 they must be cleared by a physician. The days of <toughing it out= are over 4 and coaches, parents and athletes are get- ting it. <Overall, I think in my time as a physical trainer, awareness has improved,= Schmidt said. While concussion evalu- ation is the most important role of the athletic trainers, it9s far from their only role. They deal with all the com- monplace sports injuries and provide coaches with preven- tative protocols for stretching and warm-ups. <Whatever coaches feel like they9re missing, we try to insert that,= Walker said. It9s clear from the relation- ship the students have with their trainer that it9s about more than taping ankles and providing ice packs. <We9re there to sup- port them when they9re injured and when they9re not injured,= Walker said.
