Prospective, Head-to-Head Study of Three Computerized Neurocognitive Assessment Tools (CNTs): Reliability and Validity for the Assessment of Sport-Related Concussion

Lindsay D. Nelson,1 Ashley A. LaRoche,1 Adam Y. Pfaller,1 E. Brooke Lerner,1 Thomas A. Hammeke,1,2 Christopher Randolph,3 William B. Barr,4 Kevin Guskiewicz,5 AND Michael A. McCrea1,2 Limited data exist comparing the performance of computerized neurocognitive tests (CNTs) for assessing sport-related concussion. We evaluated the reliability and validity of three CNTs—ANAM, Axon Sports/Cogstate Sport, and ImPACT—in […]

Acute Effects and Recovery Time Following Concussion in Collegiate Football Players: The NCAA Concussion Study

Studies in basic neuroscience have demonstrated that mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) is followed by a complex cascade of ionic, metabolic, and physiological events that can adversely affect cerebral function for several days to weeks. This NCAA concussion study investigates the immediate effects and natural recovery course relating to symptoms, cognitive functioning, and postural stability […]

An Alternative to the Balance Error Scoring System: Using a Low-Cost Balance Board to Improve the Validity/ Reliability of Sports-Related Concussion Balance Testing

Jasper O. Chang, MA, ATC, Susan S. Levy, PhD, Seth W. Seay, BSc, and Daniel J. Goble, PhD Objective: Recent guidelines advocate sports medicine professionals to use balance tests to assess sensorimotor status in the management of concussions. The present study sought to determine whether a low-cost balance board could provide a valid, reliable, and […]

“Entropy of balance – some recent results” by Frank G Borg* and Gerd Laxåback

Abstract Background: Entropy when applied to biological signals is expected to reflect the state of the biological system. However the physiological interpretation of the entropy is not always straightforward. When should high entropy be interpreted as a healthy sign, and when as marker of deteriorating health? We address this question for the particular case of […]

An Analysis of Functional Status in Multiple Sclerosis Patients after Progressive Non-Aerobic High-Intensity Maximal Effort Exercise (MEE)

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease with a wide-ranging impact on functional status, often quantified using the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite Score (MSFCS). The MSFCS includes the standardized Z-scores of three functional tests: the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT-3”) for cognitive function, 9-Hole Peg Test (9-HPT) for arm function, and timed 25-foot walk (25-TW) […]

Comparing two posterior load carriage placements on center of gravity, balance, posture, and perceived comfort in individuals of different body types and fitness levels – see page 6

There are many different activities that require a heavy load to be carried over a distance, ranging from recreational to occupational- this is especially true for our military personnel. The Human Performance & Biomechanics Lab study employs the most common backpack type, which requires carrying the load high on the torso with the majority of […]

Conflicts of Interest in Recommendations to Use Computerized Neuropsychological Tests to Manage Concussion in Professional Football Codes

Abstract Neuroscience research has improved our understanding of the long term consequences of sports-related concussion?, but ethical issues related to the prevention and management of concussion? are an underdeveloped area of inquiry. This article exposes several examples of conflicts of interest that have arisen and been tolerated in the management of concussion? in sport (particularly […]
