Concussion is common, in particular, during combat training and contact sports, leading to disturbance in brain function caused by direct or indirect force to the head. Concussion typically results in the rapid onset of short-lived impairment of neurological function that resolves spontaneously in most cases.
There are, however, no current tests that can reliably detect subtle changes from concussion or track brain recovery.
