The Effectiveness of a Dual Task Concussion Assessment for Identifying Impairments in Concussed Athletes
… laboratory. <strong>Participants: </strong>Concussed student-athletes and matched health controls, 18 females, 10 males. Concussed group: age 19.00±0.88, height 174.53±12.06 cm, and mass 75.28±22.02 kg. Healthy group: age 19.36±1.34, height 171.45±11.69 cm, mass 73.34±22.7 kg.<strong> …

The Relationship between Aerobic Fitness and Concussion Risk, Severity, and Recovery in High School Football
… baseline neurocognitive tests (i.e., ImPACT). Concussed athletes completed ImPACT every 24-72 hours until they were asymptomatic or returned to baseline levels. A post-season questionnaire assessed unreported concussions and symptoms. Twenty players incurred concussions. Previously concussed …

Changes in Balance with Brain Inflammation: Sensitivity in Dual Motor Mechanisms
<p>Concussion assessment in athletes has gained prominence due to potential long-term consequences of traumatic brain injuries. Evaluating balance alterations is crucial for understanding post-injury motor control strategies. This study introduces a novel approach to understanding center of …

A Longitudinal Examination of Biomechanical Balance and Quantitative Multidomain Assessments During Recovery Following Sport-Related Concussion
… are associated with the injury. Short-term, athletes may develop post-concussion syndrome (PCS), the persistence of cognitive, physical, and emotional symptoms for weeks or months after injury. Athletes who return to play (RTP) prematurely are at increased risk for lower extremity injury and …

Longitudinal Locomotor and Postural Control Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
… symptoms. These abnormalities can persist after athletes have been medically cleared for competition, yet the implications of such changes are unclear. Most prior research has examined straight gait and standard measures of balance, yet there is a lack of knowledge regarding potential persistent …

Concussion and Mental Health: Case Series
… recovery. Additionally, a total of six athletes who participated in this research (baseline, midseason and postseason) sought mental health treatment as a result of this project. This research shows a need for the tracking of mental health symptoms for both concussed and non-concussed …

The neuropsychology of sport concussion
… outcome expectations and symptom self-report in athletes using a questionnaire. The mTBI terminology was the least familiar, reliably more negative conceptualised, but knowledge was more accurate than the other two. Symptom self-report did not vary with terminology or injury history. Chapter 4 …

Serum-based biomarkers and magnetic resonance imaging following mild traumatic brain injury in collegiate athletes post return-to-play
… between serum-based and MRI-based biomarkers in concussed athletes post return-to-play. This study aimed to bridge this gap by collecting serum samples from 42 participants across two groups. The first group (n = 21) consisted of recently cleared to return-to-play collegiate athletes after …

Error-Related Theta Dynamics and Single-Trial Cognitive Control in Sports-Related Concussion
Athletes in contact sports can sustain concussions that damage brain circuits important for cognitive control of behavior. When healthy participants err, a cascade of neural dynamics is apparent across the scalp, and this neural activity predicts participants’ learning from mistakes and inhibiting …

Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Collision and Contact Female Athletes Over the Course of a Season
Objective: University contact and collision sport athletes are exposed to numerous impacts to the body and head, however, the short-term effects of such cumulative hits on neurological functioning remain elusive. This study examined resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of brain networks in …

Longitudinal Examination of Perceived Stress and Depression Symptomology in Division I Student-Athletes
… Concussions are all too prevalent in amongst athletes. Concussions make up almost 5 percent of all collegiate athletic injuries. Concussions have been linked with many long lasting effects including depression and increased stress or anxiety.</p> <p>OBJECTIVE: To longitudinally examine …

Changes in Gait Characteristics Following a Concussion
… of sustaining a concussion (CD1), on the day the concussed athlete returns to BESS baseline (BBD), or the day they finally return to play (RTPD). Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare a concussed athlete's gait to non-concussed athletes and normal controls, on specific days of their …
