Canadian Association of Athletic Therapists AGM Banff
Dave Irwin is keynote speaker with Dr. Cantu Clinical Professor of Neurosurgery at BU SM (Boston University), Co-Director of the Center for the study of Traumatic Encephalopathy.
What is Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy?
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in athletes (and others) with a history of repetitive concussions. CTE has been known to affect boxers since the 1920s. However, recent reports have been published of neuropathologically confirmed CTE in retired professional football players and wrestlers who have a history of head trauma. This trauma, which includes multiple concussions, triggers progressive degeneration of the brain tissue, including the build-up of an abnormal protein called tau. These changes in the brain can begin months, years, or even decades after the last concussion or end of active athletic involvement. The brain degeneration is associated with memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, paranoia, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, and, eventually, progressive dementia.
