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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Standing balance tests can be used to diagnose and assess neurological and musculoskeletal abnormalities that affect the lower extremity and central nervous system. The IsoBALANCE® (Neuromuscular Technologies) force plate system tracks postural sway in the coronal and sagittal planes and quantifies total distance traveled as well as the percentage of time a subject remains within […]

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a caffeine-containing “energy drink” on postural stability. Twenty-three young adult participants stood on a balance measuring platform for two intervals of 30 seconds each, once with eyes open and once with eyes closed. Subjects performed the tasks before and 1 hour after consumption. Results […]

Sports related injuries such as concussions have been shown to have effects on cognitive functioning and postural stability. The Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) is an often used tool in the assessment of postural stability. BESS is based on the use of a foam pad and does not provide quantitative information in the same manner […]
