ABROAD #22: Concussion and Lower Limb Injuries with Dr Katie Hunzinger

Dion Kapnias Season 3

Today I spoke with Dr Katie Hunzinger who is based in Philadelphia, USA. Katie's research interests lie in concussion and concussion related MSK injuries , as well as the long term impacts of concussion. She is an Assistant Professor in Exercise Science at Thomas Jefferson University. 

This is part 2 of my chat with Katie, where we talk about her amazing research on the link between concussion and lower limb injuries. We talk about why there is a 2x greater risk of lower limb injuries following concussion, how we can help prevent these injuries, practical takeaways for clinicians and much more.
