Modeling subconcussive and cumulative subconcussive impacts using a lateral fluid percusion injury device
… of concussion. Thus, suggesting cumulative subconcussive insults may induce long-term damage. Investigating the etiology of subconcussive and cumulative subconcussive insults clinically is not feasible; however, understanding what correlation exists between cumulative effects of repetitive …

The Effects of Subconcussive Impacts on Postural Stability
… been well studied and noted. However, whether subconcussive impacts lead to these same impairments is not heavily investigated. <strong>Objectives:</strong> The primary purpose of this study was to examine the effects of subconcussive impacts on postural stability in NCAA Division I football …

The effect of subconcussive blows on fine motor control
… in motor control. However, the effect of subconcussive blows is much more controversial. The clinically accepted recovery time from concussion is 7-10 days. However, recent studies involving EEG and complex motor tasks have revealed deficits up to 12 years post injury. Several studies have …

Subconcussive blows in high school football : putting young brains at risk
… due to an accumulation of smaller impacts called subconcussive blows. Years of subsequent research have only confirmed their initial results-season after season, they found that about half of the players in their study that didn't sustain concussions exhibited significant brain changes over the …

DTI and MEG Imaging of Subconcussive Impacts in High School Football Players
Football has the highest concussion rate of any competitive contact sport. High school aged males visit the emergency department for concussions caused by football more often than any other cause. While proper identification, diagnosis, and management of concussions in the emergency department can …

Robotic evaluation of sensorimotor and cognitive function following exposure to subconcussive impacts
Subconcussive impacts, caused by direct or indirect head trauma without immediate symptoms, are increasingly recognized as a contributor to long-term neurological sequelae Individuals repeatedly exposed to such impacts, including military personnel and contact sport athletes, often report symptoms …

DTI, structural network connectivity, and neurocognitive changes associated with subconcussive impacts in youth football players
… cumulative repetitive head impacts, or so-called subconcussive head impact exposure. Neuroimaging analyses of youth athletes may allow characterization of potential dose-response changes in white matter due to sports-related cumulative subconcussive head impact exposure, particularly during this …

Development, Validation, & Analysis of Tools to Understand the Biomechanical Basis of Exposure to Repetitive Subconcussive Impacts
… concussion, but are also exposed to repetitive subconcussive impacts during normal participation in the sport. There has been growing interest in the link between repetitive head impacts and changes in the brain related to neurodegenerative diseases which has motivated additional research to …

SUBCONCUSSIVE HEAD IMPACT EFFECT ON PLASMA EXPRESSION OF S100-BETA AND PINCH PROTEINS IN COLLEGIATE FOOTBALL PLAYERS
… the acute and longer-term effects of repetitive subconcussive impacts on plasma S100β and PINCH levels and concussion-related symptom score were examined. The first aim was to investigate the acute repetitive subconcussive impact effect by comparing the biomarker levels at pre and post full-gear …

A Novel Tablet Based System to Measure The Effect of Subconcussive Blows On Sensorimotor and Cognitive Functioning
… More recently, research has begun to focus on “subconcussive” blows to the head. Subconcussive blows, which are common in many sports (soccer, boxing, football, etc), do not result in the more obvious symptoms of a concussion but have the potential to cause severe brain injury. In our lab and …

Microglia-Mediated Neuroprotection from Concussion
Subconcussive impacts are highly prevalent in contact sports and are thought to increase concussion likelihood. However, we do not precisely understand the conditions under which subconcussive impacts affect concussion recovery, limiting both our mechanistic understanding and resultant recovery …

Evaluation of Head Impact Exposure and Concussion Injury Mechanisms in Youth Football
… and potential long-term effects from repetitive subconcussive (i.e. impacts that occur during regular participation in football and do not result in the signs or symptoms of a concussion) and concussive impacts. Studies have provided evidence suggesting that later-life neurodegenerative disease …

Sex-Specific Head Impact Exposure in Rugby: Measurement Considerations and Relationships to Clinical Outcomes
… similar deficits result after an accumulation of subconcussive impacts. The majority of research on human tolerance to head injury has been based on American football, using helmet-mounted sensors in male athletes. Limited studies have attempted to quantify biomechanical tolerance in women, …

Investigating history of concussion and data from head impact telemetry (xPatch) in relation to neuropsychological outcomes in a sample of adult rugby players in Cape Town
… collisions not resulting in concussion (i.e., subconcussive head injuries). Despite some evidence for a potential association between such injuries and acute neurological and neuropsychological difficulties, which may at times persist among some players, overt symptoms still guide the initial …

The effect of repetitive subconcussive head impacts on observed physiological, biochemical, and functional perturbances in the brain in high school and collegiate football players: a systematic literature review
… we investigated the effects of repetitive subconcussive helmeted head impacts (RSHI) in high school and collegiate athletes. We performed a literature review of all English-language medical literature from 2009 to current. Hippocampal volume changes, white matter diffusion changes, …

The Effects of Youth Football on the Developing Brain: A Multi-Modal Neuroimaging Study
… the combination of recurrent mTBI and repetitive subconcussive head impacts (RHI). Many approaches exist to evaluate the effect of RHI on the brain include advanced neuroimaging, biomechanical assessment, and neuropsychological testing. mTBI and RHI have been evaluated in high school, collegiate, …

Cognitive and emotional effects of one season of head impact exposure in high school contact sport athletes
… athletes today. In the last decade, studies of subconcussive repetitive head impacts (RHI) in contact sports have found associations with functional and structural brain changes, even in the absence of diagnosed concussion. Risk and thresholds for brain dysfunction in the setting of …

Creating a Standardized Program To Resistance Train The Muscles Of The Head and Neck
… methodology for the reduction of concussive and subconcussive forces, laying the foundation for further research in this area. The research participants were healthy male and female college students, age range 18-24. There were 30 participants. Of the 30 subjects used for this study, 18 …
