Research abstract
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 1.6 - 3.8 million concussions occur annually. Although striking, these figures are vast underestimates of the actual number of afflicted individuals because many who have suffered a concussion are never diagnosed because they do not seek medical advice. During competition and practice, athletes are at a relatively high risk of sustaining a concussion injury. Undiagnosed or ignored concussion may lead to a prolonged recovery or place the athlete at risk for a potentially more damaging secondary concussion. The risk of both premature return-to-play and secondary impact is exacerbated by the lack of quick and reliable side-line concussion assessment following the initial brain injury. Currently available field-side tools assess attention, memory, and balance, but have not been shown to provide an adequate set of reliable and objective measures. The proposed research program aims to protect athletes (youth t
