Modern Strategies in Concussion Prevention

A Podcast to Promote and Improve Your Practice as an Athletic Trainer

In this episode of the Sports Medicine Broadcast, host Chase Morales sits down with Travis Turner to dissect current consensus guidelines, emerging clinical technologies, and practical preventive strategies for athletic trainers. From interpreting consensus research to managing complex return-to-sport scenarios, this discussion provides actionable insights designed to elevate clinical practice.

Key Takeaways from the Amsterdam Consensus

The discussion opens with an overview of the international consensus process. Turner breaks down the preventative section of the extensive research consensus statement originating from the October 2022 international conference in Amsterdam.

Consensus Thresholds: The statement reached a 78.6% consensus among panel experts, just shy of the official 80% consensus threshold. Despite missing the formal threshold, it offers vital, research-backed guidance.
Implementation: The publication serves as an essential framework to ensure clinicians approach daily practice from an informed, evidence-based baseline.

Innovative Approaches to Return-to-Sport

Addressing unique athlete presentations during return-to-play requires creative adaptations. Morales raised a case study involving a diver experiencing dizziness and lightheadedness when looking down at the water during practice.

Dynamic VOR Integration: For athletes struggling with complex visual environments during rehabilitation, Turner suggests introducing Vestibular-Ocular Reflex (VOR) exercises inside moving apparatuses—such as glass elevators or while walking up and down stairs. This creates environmental visual motion while maintaining a controlled ground surface.
Core & Cervical Stability: Maintaining strict core stability and neck strength throughout the competitive season is essential for non-contact aquatic athletes.
Simulated Visual Environments: Utilizing stationary cardio equipment combined with dynamic visual stimulation (e.g., watching TV during exercise) can bridge the gap before full sport-specific re-entry.

The Evolution of Wearable Technology

Wearable technology continues to expand beyond traditional impact tracking in contact sports.

Expanded Applications: Data collection sensors are moving from helmets to wrists, trunks, and limbs. Sports such as gymnastics and equestrian barrel racing now utilize body-worn sensors to evaluate biomechanics, rotational forces, and body angles during motion.
Accessibility: As sensors become smaller and more cost-effective, their integration into everyday athletic training protocols will significantly increase.

Culture & Education: Driving Athlete Compliance

Education remains one of the most effective tools for reducing injury risk and facilitating proper care.

Two-Fold Educational Approach: Effective programs must address both proper movement biomechanics to prevent injury and symptom recognition to improve early identification.
Reporting Trends: Increased education has directly contributed to higher self-reporting and peer-reporting rates, overcoming previous cultural barriers where athletes hid symptoms.

Practical Prevention: Cervical Conditioning & Protective Gear

When implementing targeted neck-strengthening programs in high-impact sports, athletic trainers often face compliance challenges.

The “Shotgun” Integration Approach: Rather than relying on dedicated weight room sessions, embed neck-strengthening drills across multiple touchpoints—such as field warm-ups, weight room activations, and cool-downs.
Manual Resistance (“Buddy System”): Simple partner-resisted manual neck exercises at the end of training sessions foster early habits in younger athletes, preparing them for advanced equipment in college or professional settings.
Emerging Devices: Devices like the FDA-cleared Q-Collar aim to apply mild pressure to internal jugular veins to reduce internal brain movement during impacts. While gaining visibility in high school and professional settings, continuous evaluation of surrounding research remains critical.

AI in Healthcare: Navigating Efficiency, Ethics, and Clinical Justification

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: Spotify | RSS

In this episode of the Sports Medicine Broadcast, host Chase Morales sits down with Dr. Ashlyne Elliott and Dr. Layci Harrison following their presentation at the Sports Medicine Update. Together, they explore the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence across athletic training, health professions education, and daily clinical practice.

As athletic trainers face increasing administrative workloads and packed daily schedules, AI tools offer significant efficiency gains. However, utilizing these tools safely requires strong human oversight, ongoing critical appraisal, and diligent patient privacy standards.

1. The Administrative Assistant: Efficiency vs. Oversight

Athletic trainers are frequently strapped for time, balancing direct patient care with heavy documentation and administrative responsibilities. Dr. Ashlyne Elliott highlights that AI can function as an efficient assistant for creating initial drafts of emails, policy documentation, and routine administrative tasks.

However, AI outputs must always be supervised and verified. Failing to fact-check generated material risks introducing errors into clinical workflows, which can negatively impact patient care or create legal liabilities.“It can help with initial drafts, emails, or drafting policies. But if we’re not fact-checking and double-checking our work, we could get into gray areas that impact patient care negatively or leave us up to legal scrutiny.” — Dr. Ashlyne Elliott

2. Ambient AI Scribes & Clinical Risks

Automated ambient recording tools—designed to listen during clinical encounters and construct SOAP notes automatically—are gaining traction in healthcare environments. While these scribes can streamline documentation for clinicians seeing high patient volumes, uncritical reliance introduces severe risks.

Dr. Elliott referenced a scene from the medical television drama The Pit, where a busy provider relied on an automated scribe without reviewing the transcript. A transcription error regarding patient medications altered the overall plan of care. In real-world healthcare settings, even a small margin of AI error can lead to adverse drug interactions or life-threatening oversight.

3. Data Privacy and Predictive Bias

When evaluating AI applications and athlete management platforms, athletic trainers must scrutinize data handling and model development:

Protected Health Information (PHI): Consumer-facing AI tools and free applications often store submitted data as public training material. Clinicians must review store disclosures and privacy agreements to protect sensitive patient records and maintain HIPAA compliance.
Demographic Representation in Machine Learning: Predictive algorithms are shaped by the data used to train them. An AI model built primarily on data from Division I male collegiate athletes will not yield accurate predictive insights when applied to high school populations.

Dr. Layci Harrison urges clinicians to ask software vendors explicit questions regarding how their predictive models were developed before incorporating recommendations into practice.

4. Demystifying the “Black Box” Theory

Traditional statistical analysis (such as linear regression performed in SPSS) allows researchers to trace and audit every mathematical calculation. In contrast, advanced machine learning operates within a “Black Box”—processing complex variables in ways human reasoning cannot directly inspect.

Dr. Harrison stresses that regardless of how sophisticated an algorithm is, clinicians remain legally and ethically accountable for their treatment decisions.

Clinical Responsibility: If an AI tool recommends an ACL rehabilitation protocol and a patient suffers an injury due to premature loading, citing “the AI generated the plan” does not offer legal protection. Clinicians must be able to independently justify every clinical decision.

5. AI in Education: Cultivating Critical Thinking

Dr. Harrison and Dr. Elliott emphasize that educators must guide students in using technology safely rather than attempting to restrict it. Students already use AI to study, design practice scenarios, and seek immediate feedback.

The priority for educators and preceptors is ensuring students maintain core clinical reasoning skills. While AI can accelerate workflow, clinicians must understand foundational principles to evaluate whether an AI output is accurate and appropriate for patient care.

Explore GI evaluations, red flags, the gut-brain axis, and supplement trends with Dr. Sean Healy on the Sports Medicine Broadcast hosted by Chase Morales.

Sports Medicine Broadcast
A Podcast to Promote and Improve Your Practice as an Athletic Trainer

Executive Summary

Gastrointestinal (GI) complaints are among the most common yet challenging non-musculoskeletal issues encountered by athletic trainers in clinical and sideline settings. In this episode of the Sports Medicine Broadcast, host Chase Morales sits down with team physician Dr. Sean Healy to break down essential GI examination techniques, triage methods for acute abdominal pain, the interplay between psychological health and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and practical guidance on supplement safety and gastroenteritis management.

Key Takeaways for Athletic Trainers

1. Basic Physical Examination & Quadrant Triage

Evaluating abdominal complaints begins with taking a structured patient history and correlating symptoms to specific anatomical quadrants. When evaluating an athlete presenting with abdominal discomfort:

Quadrant Mapping: Correlate localized pain to underlying structures (e.g., right lower quadrant pain suggesting appendicitis).
Pain Trajectory: Pay close attention to how pain migrates. For instance, appendicitis often originates periumbilically before localizing to the right lower quadrant over several hours.
History Taking: In younger or pediatric athletes, reframe questions in multiple ways to obtain an accurate clinical timeline.

2. Immediate Red Flags & Triage Thresholds

Distinguishing urgent medical conditions from benign or non-urgent GI distress is vital for quick referral. Dr. Healy highlights several immediate red flags requiring urgent higher-level care:

Red Flag Symptom	Clinical Concern	Recommended Action
Fever	Systemic infection/inflammation	Measure body temperature; urgent referral if elevated
Persistent Vomiting	Obstruction, severe gastroenteritis, dehydration	Evaluate fluid status; withhold oral intake; refer
Hematochezia or Hematemesis	Active gastrointestinal hemorrhage	Immediate emergency/physician referral
Rebound Tenderness / Guarding	Peritoneal irritation (peritonitis)	Avoid deep palpation; immediate physician transfer

3. The Gut-Brain Axis and Managing IBS

The relationship between neurological/psychiatric factors—such as anxiety and performance stress—and GI motility is significant.

Gut-Brain Correlation: Pre-competition anxiety commonly manifests as lower GI distress or IBS flares.
Treatment Considerations: While some anti-anxiety medications can cause secondary GI side effects, others resolve both neurological and intestinal symptoms simultaneously.
Conservative Strategies: Talk therapy and dietary adjustments (e.g., low-fat, Mediterranean diet, or avoiding spicy foods and alcohol) are effective non-pharmacological tools.

4. Navigating Supplement Trends and Hydration

With the rise of protein-dense foods and pre-workout products, athletes are consuming high quantities of nutritional supplements.

Hydration Demands: High protein intake and creatine supplementation increase systemic fluid needs. Inadequate hydration alongside high protein consumption often leads to constipation.
Pediatric Oversight: Athletic trainers should ensure coaches, parents, and guardians are aware when youth or high school athletes are using specialized supplements.

5. Acute Gastroenteritis & Over-the-Counter Cautions

When managing acute gastroenteritis or suspected “stomach bugs”:

Avoid Early Imodium (Loperamide): In the first 24 to 48 hours of suspected infectious diarrhea, avoid anti-diarrheal agents like Imodium. Trapping infectious pathogens within the GI tract can prolong illness and delay recovery.
First-Line Care: Prioritize oral rehydration solutions (electrolyte beverages like Gatorade or Powerade) and diet progression. Most viral gastroenteritis cases self-resolve within 24 to 72 hours.

6. Destigmatizing GI Health and Step-Up Referral

Athletes often feel hesitant or embarrassed to report gastrointestinal issues. Athletic trainers should work to normalize gut health conversations and establish a progressive referral pipeline:

Athletic Trainer Assessment -> Primary Care Physician (PCP) -> GI Specialist

Working Around Upper Extremity Injuries: Maximizing Athletic Potential in Rehab

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: Spotify | RSS

Sports Medicine Broadcast

A Podcast to Promote and Improve Your Practice as an Athletic Trainer

When an overhead or rotational athlete—such as a baseball pitcher, softball player, volleyball server, or tennis player—suffers a significant upper extremity injury, traditional care often calls for shutdown periods lasting anywhere from six weeks to several months. While restricting arm motion is crucial for surgical or tissue healing, completely shutting down the athlete can lead to lost athleticism, decreased conditioning, and a difficult return-to-play process.

In this episode of the Sports Medicine Broadcast, host Chase Morales is joined by Cathy Nguyen, Xavier Porter, and physical therapist Ryan Collins to dive into strategies for keeping overhead athletes conditioned and engaged while protecting healing shoulder and elbow tissues.

Training Beyond the Injured Arm

Overhead performance relies heavily on total-body coordination, trunk rotation, and lower-body ground reaction forces. When the arm is immobilized or restricted, clinicians have a valuable window to address other components of the kinetic chain:

Lower Quarter & Ground Forces: Maintaining single-leg strength, lower-body power, and leg drive so the athlete does not lose the foundation of their throwing or hitting mechanics.
Trunk & Core Rotation: Safe, controlled hip and trunk rotation work keeps the core responsive and strong without placing mechanical stress across the healing arm.
Cardiovascular Conditioning & Movement: Avoiding long periods of inactivity prevents overall physical decline and eases the physical transition back to sport-specific drills.

Protocols Are Templates, Not Rigid Rules

Standard rehabilitation protocols for procedures such as SLAP repairs, UCL reconstructions, or rotator cuff repairs are designed around histology—how tissue heals over specific timeframes. While respecting these tissue-healing boundaries is mandatory, Collins points out that protocols should serve as adaptable templates rather than rigid, calendar-only directives:

Avoid Automatic Time-Based Progression: Moving an athlete to the next phase purely because a calendar week has passed can overload tissues that are not yet ready or flexible enough.
Prevent Monotony & Stagnation: Relying solely on basic wrist curls, passive stretching, or light band work for weeks can lead to boredom and sloppy execution. Challenging athletes safely keeps their buy-in high.

Key Progression Criteria Before High-Velocity Loading

Before introducing plyometrics, medicine ball throws, or return-to-throwing protocols, clinicians should look beyond simple pain ratings:

Full Mobility & Range of Motion: Ensure full structural motion is established without compensatory mechanics.
Baseline Controlled Strength: “If you can’t do it slow, you definitely can’t do it fast”. Validate that slow, controlled movements (e.g., standard push-ups or consistent band resistance) are well-tolerated before attempting explosive tasks.
Movement Coordination & Quality: Verify that the athlete can properly sequence their core and hips without substitute patterns that increase inflammation or stress nearby joints.

By viewing rehabilitation as an ongoing part of athletic training, sports medicine professionals can ensure that sidelined athletes return to the field fully prepared, strong, and confident.

Doctor Angie Curtis, MD, MPT fits into the Minority Women Doctors category but has a unique path.

Minority Female Doctors; Dr. Angie Curtis; black women; african american colleges

Her original plan was to be a doctor.

Obstacles arose and she chose Physical Therapy school.

Before she could get established as a PT she knew she needed to go after her dream of becoming a Sports Medicine Doctor.

Challenges facing Minority Women Doctors

Doctor Curtis did not present on becoming a doctor as an African American woman. But a previous conversation in the hallway sparked an interest in me to learn more and help grow to understand.

I know I have preset judgments and biases based on where and how I was raised.

I also know that I am responsible for my actions and choices. I can not blame anyone else for the way I view or treat others.

Have you judged Minority Women Doctors too soon?

Dr. Curtis has been overlooked and ignored because she is a black female, dressed like a doctor, carrying clipboard and stethoscope. The nurse in scrubs was a male so he was obviously more “doctorly”

She has not allowed this to make her bitter but continues to grow and improve patient care and open doors for the women behind her.

Athletic Shoulder – Stephen Simonich – 619

What does the Athletic Sholder look like in 2019?

Dr. Stephen Simonich, MD joins us today to talk about the athletic shoulder from the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Update.

Ever wondered how to explain the rotator cuff as a secondary stabilizer in the GH joint to either your athlete or their family? Dr. Simonich has the perfect analogy.

He tells his patients that it is like if I were to take a big exercise ball in my right arm and pull it into my chest. My chest would be the socket, the exercise ball my humeral head, my arm would be the rotator cuff and my hand the tendons of the cuff. That demonstration can help show how difficult it is for the rotator cuff to stabilize the joint.

What are the two types of shoulder dislocations, where do you see them and how should we treat them?

TUBS (Traumatic Unilateral Bankart Surgical) and AMBRI (atraumatic multidirectional bilateral rehab rarely inferior capsular shift) are the two types of dislocations.

You will see TUBS is most often in contact or collision sports like football or rugby. AMBRI is seen often in swimmers especially at the end of a long season.

Post a TUBS dislocation and relocation Dr. Simonich likes to use the apprehension test as an indicator of further treatment. He also uses athlete age (young athletes have a high rate of recurrence) individual goals, sport played and level of participation as indicators for surgery. Surgery reduces the high rate of recurrence in young athletes.

What are the types of AC joint separation and how do you treat them?

AC joint separations are relatively easy to see and cause biplanar instability. There are 5 types with Type I and II requiring conservative treatment, Type III going either way but trending non-operatively and Type IV V VI requiring reconstruction with a joint tie-down.

Clavicle fracture treatments have changed throughout the years due to research. What does the current research say?

Prior to 06’-07’ most clavicle fractures were treated non operatively. Research was introduced in two studies in those years that saw a better union rate with fixation in the clavicle post-fracture and surgeons began to surgically treat and fixate.

In 2017 a new study showed that while the rate of union is still higher in clavicle fractures with fixation, fixation doesn’t improve shoulder function nor does it decrease limitations in the shoulder. Dr. Simonich will put a plate to fixate the clavicle on an athlete with shortening, displacement, or comminution because they get faster healing rates, are more predictable and can get them back to their sports.

Dr. Candice Teunis joins Shawn Ready to discuss care for the active wrist.

Can't Miss Injuries of the Hand; care for the active wrist

How do we Care For The Active Wrist

One of the huge tips she continued to share was REFER ANYTHING YOU REDUCE!!!

I have reduced injuries before and since meeting Dr. Teunis I always refer them to get an x-ray before allowing them to return to play.

Mallet Finger:

What is it: Extensor tendon rupture or avulsion involving DP joint.

Treatment– Splint religiously! 6-10 weeks

Alumaform vs. Stax Splint- Not all 1 size fits all. consult with your local hand doctor to see what they prefer and why. discuss ways to ensure patient compliance and seamless transition from office to AT Facility.

NOT ALL Mallet Fingers can be splinted, some require surgical intervention.

Jersey Finger-

What is it – Flexed finger pulled into extension (commonly ring finger, 75%) rupturing flexor tendon.

Treatment:

Dislocations

Dorsal Dislocation- splint 1 week, then buddy tape

Volar dislocation – much less common, extensor mechanism disruption, hard to reduce

Mimickers-

Traumatic Boutonniere
Skiers Thumb

Scaphoid Fractures

Hard to treat
hard to diagnose.
Common in football – “see these in December”

Scaphoid fractures…about 40% are missed and that is bad news, they take several months to heal due to poor blood flow. if it dies you get arthritis in your 20s.
