Associate professor of kinesiology Dr. Donald Dengel was recently interviewed by KSTP on his current concussion research. The segment, “U of M Researchers Look for Brain Changes After Concussions,” was aired on June 10 and features research being conducted with a $100,000 NFL Charities grant.
Dengel and his team are looking at effects of multiple sports-related concussions on neurocognition and cerebral vascular function. One of the aims of the research is determining if a concussion has fully healed or if more treatment or rest is necessary.
