A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) caused by sudden movement of the brain within the skull. This can happen from direct impacts to the head, neck, or body, such as in sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents, falls, or physical assaults. It is important to note that a loss of consciousness is not required to sustain a concussion.
