Falls, crashes & smashes: Who's at risk of brain injury off the field?


Falls, crashes & smashes: Who's at risk of brain injury off the field?
In part 2 of our Digital Discovery Series on head impacts, we explore the serious topic of head injuries that occur off the field.
While Run It Straight and rugby have captured everyone's attention recently, the most common impact-related traumatic brain injuries in Aotearoa stem from falls, accidents and, sadly, assaults. These often-overlooked events can have profound effects on individuals, whānau, and communities.
Join Professor Alice Theadom, Director of the TBI Network at the Auckland University of Technology, at our digital event on 19 August as she shares some fascinating yet confronting facts about the latest research.
This FREE online event will be hosted by the Neurological Foundation’s Head of Research, Dr Sarah Schonberger.
