Factors Predicting Return to Play in Sports-Related Concussion: An Empirical Evaluation
Sports-related concussion and its subsequent management have become a top priority within the sports medicine research spectrum. In order to properly understand the complex nature of concussion management, multiple aspects of the injury were explored including the psychobiological nature of the …

Effect of Vestibular Rehabilitation on Recovery Outcomes in Adolescents with Sports Related Concussions
… initiation and recovery time in adolescents with sports related concussions. Hypothesis: Earlier intervention with vestibular rehabilitation following a sports related concussion will reduce recovery time Methods: This retrospective case-control study included patients 12-22 years old who were …

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 …

The Effectiveness of the CDCS Heads-Up Dvd on Coaching Education Students' Knowledge of Sports-Related Concussions
… have identified numerous concussion related misconceptions by coaches. To educate the coaches about concussions, the CDC developed the "Heads-Up: Concussion in High School Sports" toolkit in 2005; however the effectiveness of this toolkit has surprisingly received limited …

The Impact of Lower Limb Dominance on Side-to-Side Symmetry in Daily Living and Sports-related Tasks
Evaluating side-to-side symmetry in the lower extremity has been significant in assessing injury risk and the success of rehabilitation programs. Considering limb dominance in the lower limbs is also important as limb dominance could influence symmetry measures. There is a need to assess symmetry, …

Head Acceleration Experienced by Man: Exposure, Tolerance, and Applications
Between 1.6 and 3.8 million sports-related concussions are sustained by persons living in the United States annually. While sports-related concussion was once considered to only result in immediate neurocognitive impairment and symptoms that are transient in nature, recent research has correlated …

Quantifying Postural Control, Concussion Risk, and Helmet Performance in Youth Football
As many as 1.9 million sports-related concussions occur annually in youth sports in the United States (U.S.). Often considered a transient injury, research has begun to relate sports-related concussions to long-term neurodegeneration. Youth athletes are considered to be more vulnerable to …

Serum-based biomarkers and magnetic resonance imaging following mild traumatic brain injury in collegiate athletes post return-to-play
… collegiate athletes after experiencing a sports-related concussion. The second group (n = 21) was collegiate athlete controls matched on age, sex, and sport. Structural and functional MRI were used for analysis from a subgroup of 26 participants (13 concussed, 13 control). Blood samples …

Cognitive, Psychiatric, And Neuropathological Manifestations Of Repetitive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
<p>Millions of athletes participate 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 …

The Use of Trunk-Mounted Accelerometers for Neurmuscular Testing in Collegiate Women's Soccer
Team sports frequently use inertial measurement units (IMU) fixed at the scapulae for the quantification of athlete performance. Similar IMU are used in clinical settings for gait analysis and jump testing but are located at the center of mass (COM). For clinical methods of jump and gait analysis …

Overlapping of mental health symptoms and post-concussion symptoms among Icelandic female athletes
Studies on the relationship between sports-related concussion (SRC) and mental health symptoms have in the past been mainly focusing on male athletes. Non-specific post-concussion symptoms (PCS) can also be found in a healthy population. It is therefore important to analyze PCS that are overlapping …
