Concussions (mild traumatic head injury) have received increasing attention in clinical practice, research, and the public press. A range of healthcare providers engage with patients presenting concussion, physiotherapists are often at front line these consultations, especially on sports field. We explored physiotherapists’ perspectives their scope practice actual within sports-related concussion diagnosis return-to-sport context. qualitative approach interviews focus groups was used,...
The Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test (BCTT) was developed to identify potential physiological system impairment (PSI) underlying persistent symptoms post-mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). This study evaluates PSI in individuals 4 weeks 6 months post-mTBI using the BCTT "failure" criteria, and additional exploratory measures of test duration heart rate (HR) response.Tertiary hospital university.Participants included 73 a comparison group 39 healthy controls (HCs). mTBI further subgrouped...
Previous research has highlighted that squat-stand maneuvers (SSMs) augment coherence values within the cerebral pressure-flow relationship to ∼0.99. However, it is not fully elucidated if mean arterial pressure (MAP) leads this physiological entrainment independently, or heart rate (HR) and/or partial of carbon dioxide (Pco2) also have contributing influences. A 2:1 control-to-case model was used in present investigation [participant number (n) = 40; n 16 age-matched (AM); donor control...
<h3>Objective</h3> To identify how healthy individuals and those who present both asymptomatically with persistent symptoms post-concussion group on the basis of their performances across cervical musculoskeletal sensorimotor (cervical, vestibular, oculomotor, balance) assessments. <h3>Design</h3> Cohort study. <h3>Setting</h3> Tertiary teaching hospital, University. <h3>Participants</h3> 72 (35 asymptomatic 37 symptomatic) 4 to 26 weeks post a diagnosed concussion 39 controls no prior...
<h3>Objective</h3> Evaluate differences in preseason cervical spine, vestibulo-ocular reflex, dynamic balance, and divided attention measures competitive youth ice hockey players who report a previous concussion compared to those do not. <h3>Design</h3> This study was secondary analysis of data from two prospective cohort studies conducted Calgary Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 2011 2018. <h3>Setting</h3> Youth arenas Canada. <h3>Participants</h3> Uninjured male female players, aged 10 – 18...
<h3>Objective</h3> To identify the presence of cervical, vestibulo-ocular, and physiological subsystem impairments in symptomatic individuals 4 to 26 weeks following concussion. <h3>Design</h3> cohort. <h3>Setting</h3> Tertiary teaching hospital, University. <h3>Participants</h3> Thirty-eight participants aged 18–60 years with a diagnosis mTBI post-concussion were included. Participants previous neck pain, vestibular or neurological conditions pharmacological confounders excluded....
Background Little is known regarding long-term consequences (≥5 years) of sport-related concussion (SRC) sustained during adolescence. Adolescent SRC has been linked to athlete considerations sport participation and subsequent retirement from this critical developmental period. Prolonged symptoms can reduce ability perform physical activity, research suggests inactivity extend years post-injury. Therefore, may affect which result in decreased cardiorespiratory fitness increased adiposity.
OBJECTIVES: Report typical scores and examine preseason cervical spine, vestibulo-ocular reflex, dynamic balance, divided attention measures in competitive youth ice hockey players aged 10 to 18 years with without a previous concussion history. DESIGN: Cross-sectional secondary analysis. METHODS: The exposure of interest was self-reported history concussion. main outcomes were spine (Cervical Flexor Endurance [CFE; seconds], Cervical Flexion-Rotation Test [normal/abnormal], Anterolateral...
Objective: To provide preseason reference scores for Canadian youth tackle football players on the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 5 (SCAT5) and to examine whether age, concussion history, self-reported medical diagnoses are associated with SCAT5 subcomponent performance. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Calgary, Alberta. Participants: Five hundred one male (ages 13-18 years) participating in 2021 season. of Risk Factors: subcomponents were assessed by age group (13-14, 15-16,...
Objectives: This study investigated the quality of life youth sport participants over COVID-19 pandemic as moderated by psychological resilience.
