NMS Diagnosis I Palmer Exam 3 Practice Test

Which group is NOT commonly listed as experiencing CTE?

Football players Hockey players Veterans Basketball players

Correct Answer:

Basketball players

Explanation:

CTE is linked to repeated head trauma over time, so groups with lots of head impacts are the ones most often listed. Football and hockey players experience frequent collisions and head hits, which is why they’re commonly associated with CTE. Veterans are included because repeated blast exposures and concussive events also contribute to the risk. Basketball players, while they can sustain concussions, don’t encounter the same pattern or frequency of repetitive head trauma, so they aren’t commonly listed as experiencing CTE.
