ACL Injuries Have More Than Tripled Since 2000
Knee Surgeries Like RGIII's Are On The Rise by Janice Lloyd. USA Today. January 11, 2013.
Robert Griffin III of the Washington Redskins tore two of the four primary ligaments of the knee. Injuries to one of those ligaments, the ACL, are increasingly common and do not result from contact. A pivot, turn, or twist may cause the injury, which are expected to rise with the aging of the Baby Boomers. The article provides keys to avoiding this injury, interesting facts such as females are more at risk than males, and a brief overview of the surgery and rehab.

How The Human Brain Adapts To Injury
Research Reveals Exactly How The Human Brain Adapts To Injury. Science Daily. January 16, 2013.
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon have delineated the back-up mechanism for a temporary incapacitation of the Wernicke area, a key area for language comprehension. This mechanism included the contralateral areas, the areas next to the impaired area, and a frontal executive area. The researchers used a theory of how brain systems self-organize in response to change.

Sports Injury and Team Psychology
Article: When a Severe Injury Shakes a Team to Its Heart Sports New York Times Sunday September 23, 2012
Key Ideas: When a sever injury happens to a sports team member, the entire team feels the impact. The drive to press on, concern about the injured teammate, loss of focus, and worries of personal vulnerability and just some of the reactions. The article includes a dramatic story of the psychological effects on a team member serving as a mold for a body cast for a injured and paralyzed teammate. It was for that team member a "glimpse of a life he did not want to know."
