摘要：
There has been an increase in the number of concussions sustained by players in the National Hockey League (NHL). White wearing a helmet is now required by the NHL, the face visor-remains optional. It is unknown to what degree face visors influence concussion, other head injury and eye-injury rates at the professional level. Data from the 2001-2002 NHL season were examined. It was found that wearing a face visor did not significantly influence the prevalence of concussion. Visor protection did, however, minimise eye-injuries and other, non-concussion head injuries. These data suggest that, white a visor may prevent some head and eye-injuries, other measures may be necessary to reduce the number of concussions. (c) 2006 Sports Medicine Australia.
