Concussion is a common sequel to head injuries incurred during sports activity. In the last decade, there has been a significant increase in the number of studies dealing many aspects of concussions. Included approaches involve epidemiology, clinical aspects including modern neuroimaging as well as neuropsychiatric evaluation, and prophylactic possibilities for reducing concussion incidence. In this chapter I cover the epidemiology, clinical symptoms, mechanical aspects, experimental studies, computer-based simulation, and pathophysiology of the clinical symptoms of concussion. I also cover the aims of stroke prophylaxis and current prophylactic issues.
