Epilepsy and athletics.

摘要: It may seem logical to place restrictions on athletes with epilepsy, but there are no studies suggest that even contact sports exacerbate seizures, and is ample evidence exercise reduces seizure frequency improves well-being. Thus, participation should generally be encouraged for epilepsy patients. The risk-benefit analysis an individual patient highly dependent the athletic activity considered; type of seizure, likelihood a will occur during activity, comorbid conditions. Water (scuba diving, swimming, boating), performed at heights (piloting, sky climbing, horseback riding), motor require specific considerations.
