SPORT CONCUSSION:

Concussion is a brain injury that affects the function of the brain and the person and may, or may not, result in a loss of consciousness.

There are several important features to highlight including:

• A concussion is not always caused by a direct hit to the head. It may be caused by a direct hit to the head, face, neck, or elsewhere on the body with an 'impulse' force transmitted to the head.
• Only 10% of concussions present with a loss of consciousness.
• A concussion typically results in the rapid onset of short-lived impairment of neurological (brain cognition) function that resolves spontaneously.

Recently the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) announced new National Concussion Guidelines for community sport to take effect for the winter sports season in 2024.

South Canterbury Hunt Inc. have implemented the following approach to managing concussion:

1. When a rider suffers a concussion, they must have a minimum period of 21 days away from hunting with South Canterbury, and
2. Medical clearance must be obtained prior to a return to hunting.

It is recommended that riders wear a protective helmet at all times when mounted with a chinstrap fastened and adjusted so as to prevent movement of the helmet in the event of a fall. The fit of the helmet and the adjustment of the harness are crucial. The helmet should not move on the head when the head is tipped forward.
