Video review of the frequency and assessment of head impacts during the FIFA Arab Cup 2021 TM .
Science & medicine in football. 2022 September 6
We used injury spotters and video footage review to establish the frequency of head impacts, their characteristics, and the subsequent medical assessment during the FIFA Arab Cup 2021TM . Six defined video signs of potential concussion based on an international consensus were used A total of 88 head impacts were observed, with a median of 2 (IQR 1.5-4, range 0-7) head impacts per match, of which 44 (50%) resulted in on-pitch medical assessment. The median assessment duration was 51s (IQR 34-65s, range 19-262s). The most common mechanism was head-to-head contact (27% of all impacts and 43% of impacts with medical assessment). Seven head impacts showed video signs of potential concussion: six had one sign and one had two signs. The concussion substitution was used in three incidents. Head impacts during the FIFA Arab Cup were common and a median of 1 head impact per game required an on-pitch medical assessment. Only 8% of the head impacts showed any video sign of potential concussion, and only 3% resulted in a concussion substitution. The medical on-pitch assessments appeared too short (<1 min) to allow an appropriate assessment of all head impacts, indicating a need for further evaluation. Further standardisation of the injury spotter's role in football is recommended.
