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 …

DTI and MEG Imaging of Subconcussive Impacts in High School Football Players
… effect of these concussive and sub-concussive impacts on the developing brain is still unknown. Neuroimaging analysis of these players, particularly during times of brain maturation and growth, is important to profile the potential dose-response of brain changes occurring in relation to head …

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 …

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 …

DTI, structural network connectivity, and neurocognitive changes associated with subconcussive impacts in youth football players
… about the effects of 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, …

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 …

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
… event or the accumulation of lower severity impacts. Clinical changes that can result from concussion include an elevated symptom presentation and changes in gait, or an individual's walking pattern. It is not well understood if similar deficits result after an accumulation of subconcussive …

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 …

Cognitive, Psychiatric, And Neuropathological Manifestations Of Repetitive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
… in contact sports that involve repeated head impacts (e.g., football, ice hockey, boxing), often from a very young age, and it is feared that subsequent impacts can synergize with previous ones so that their effects on the brain become magnified. Repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI) …
