Background: Sports and recreational-related injuries include injuries to the spine, peripheral nerves, and the neuromuscular system: Though it may rarely, traumatic brain injures of more significant serenity. Almost 10% of all neurological injuries are sports injuries. Many sports events and training are under specialist supervision; a medical professional is available at the site or the hospital. The majority (63%) did not receive any formal or informal training in sports neurology- a subspecialty of neurology.
Materials and Methods: Systematic search of electronic databases has been performed. Peer review research papers, talks, seminar reports, symposium talks, workshop discussions, all reported events, and only English language materials are considered.
Results: If a professional physiotherapist or doctor is present at the event site, in most cases, a neurological problem should be detected and referred immediately. However, that's not the scenario for many events. Important points related to this issue have been made with the example of five major incidences. Some primary but straightforward care steps are suggested.
Conclusion: Primary objective of this review is to provide a summary of neurological injuries during sports. 0.47% of 1000 sports injuries are deadly, and most of them are neurological. With strict implementation of modern equipment and precautions, and timely treatment, the injuries' seriousness could be minimized. Additionally, sports neurology is a new and developing subject; hence it could include the help of primary care, physician, pediatrician, physical medicine, sports medicine and surgeons, as well as athletic trainers.
