Yes, absolutely. Trying to determine why women concuss more easily and why post-concussion syndrome lasts longer in women are questions that we are grappling with. In fact, last year we had a full-day symposium on concussion in women and girls. There is now a worldwide movement called Pink Concussions that we have joined forces with. That group is also trying to find the answers.
One answer that does appear to be firm is that women have less developed neck muscles, and strengthening neck muscles may prevent the jiggle of the brain within the skull that causes concussion. The stronger your neck muscles are, the less jiggle there will be of the brain if you get hit with a soccer ball or if you fall while skating. Strengthening neck muscles is a very attractive way to try to protect women from concussions.
