Football Hall-of-Famer Barry Sanders Tackles Pseudobulbar Affect; A Little-known But Widespread Condition Caused by Brain Injury
PR Newswire - Wed Jan 21, 6:30AM CST
New research shows 99 percent of former professional football players surveyed by the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund, Inc., have suffered a head injury, repeated concussions, or a blow to the head sometime during their football career. More concerning is that a third of these players admit to experiencing symptoms consistent with a little-known neurological condition caused by brain injury called Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA); and most were unaware that PBA symptoms may result from head injury. To help educate the community, legendary football Hall-of-Famer, Barry Sanders, has teamed up with Gridiron Greats and Avanir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to launch Tackle PBA, a new educational campaign to increase awareness of PBA as a potential consequence of brain injury.
