Coaches, support staff and administrators are normally present when acute spinal injuries or conditions occur, and often assist, or act as, first responders. Therefore, all personnel should be knowledgeable in the prevention, recognition and management of acute spinal injuries. Failure to provide reasonable/appropriate care due to lack of latest knowledge or training is grounds for negligence. This session will examine current strategies to prevent, recognize and manage acute spinal injuries using an evidence-based practice approach.
