While most young people recover well after a head injury, some endure lasting impairments and difficulties. At the moment, we do not understand why this happens.

This study aims to help predict how well a child will recover, and identify those who may need support earlier. To do this, we need healthy volunteers for comparison. We are looking for 11–18-year-olds, via their parents, who are actively involved in sport and have not had a previous head injury.
