<h3>Importance</h3> Sport-related concussion (SRC) is a significant public health problem without an effective treatment. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess the effectiveness of subsymptom threshold aerobic exercise vs placebo-like stretching program prescribed to adolescents in acute phase recovery from SRC. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> This multicenter prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted at university centers. Male female adolescent athletes (age 13-18 years)...
OBJECT The objectives of this study were twofold: 1) to examine the prevalence emotional symptoms among children and adolescents with a sports-related concussion (SRC) who referred multidisciplinary pediatric program 2) prevalence, clinical features, risk factors, management postinjury psychiatric outcomes those in population. METHODS authors conducted retrospective chart review all patients SRC between September 2013 October 2014. Clinical assessments carried out by single neurosurgeon...
The objective of this study was 2-fold: 1) to examine the prevalence vestibulo-ocular dysfunction (VOD) among children and adolescents with acute sports-related concussion (SRC) postconcussion syndrome (PCS) who were referred a multidisciplinary pediatric program; 2) determine if VOD is associated development PCS in cohort.The authors conducted retrospective review all patients SRC (presenting 30 days or less postinjury) (3 more symptoms for at least 1 month) program between September 2013...
OBJECTIVE There were 2 objectives of this study. The first objective was to identify clinical variables associated with vestibulo-ocular dysfunction (VOD) detected at initial consultation among pediatric patients acute sports-related concussion (SRC) and postconcussion syndrome (PCS). second reexamine the prevalence VOD in cohort evaluate effect on length recovery development PCS. METHODS A retrospective review conducted for all SRC PCS who evaluated a multidisciplinary program from...
OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were 2-fold: 1) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical use graded aerobic treadmill testing in pediatric patients with sports-related concussion (SRC), 2) outcomes treatment a submaximal exercise program physiological post-concussion disorder (PCD). METHODS authors conducted retrospective chart review (age < 20 years) SRC who referred multidisciplinary underwent between October 9, 2014, February 11, 2016. Clinical assessments carried out by...
Sport-related concussion is an important condition that can affect collegiate and professional athletes. Expert consensus guidelines currently suggest all athletes who sustain acute be managed with a conservative approach consisting of relative rest gradual resumption school sport activities active intervention reserved for those persistent post-concussion symptoms lasting greater than 10-14 days adults. Unfortunately, these recommendations place little emphasis on the rapid physical...
To summarize the clinical characteristics and outcomes of pediatric sports-related concussion (SRC) patients who were evaluated managed at a multidisciplinary program examine healthcare resources personnel required to meet needs this patient population.We conducted retrospective review all SRC referred Pan Am Concussion Program from September 1st, 2013 May 25th, 2015. Initial assessments diagnoses carried out by single neurosurgeon. Return-to-Play decision-making was team.604 patients,...

J Strength Cond Res 33(11): 2909-2912, 2019-The purpose of this retrospective review was to report the physical physiological development male players for 3 consecutive years (13, 14, 15 age). Before each season, athletes (n = 103) underwent a testing combine assess aerobic, anaerobic, musculoskeletal fitness. The tests performed included...
Traumatic optic neuropathy is a rare cause of visual disturbance after head injury that can be difficult to distinguish from coexisting vestibulo-ocular dysfunction because the overlap in presenting symptoms patients with these conditions. We present case report 13-year-old girl who sustained during ringette game leading blurred vision and diplopia persisting 5 months injury. Clinical history physical examination findings were consistent traumatic neuropathy, convergence insufficiency,...
ABSTRACT Purpose This study aimed to compare cardiorespiratory response a graded aerobic exercise challenge between adolescents with symptomatic sport-related concussion (SSRC) and healthy control subjects. Methods A quasiexperimental nonrandomized at multidisciplinary pediatric program was conducted. Thirty-four SSRC (19 males 15 females) 40 subjects (13 27 completed the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Testing (BCTT) until either symptom exacerbation or volitional fatigue. Main outcome...
Ice hockey is a physiologically complex sport requiring aerobic and anaerobic energy metabolism. College professional teams often test fitness; however, there paucity of information regarding fitness elite youth players. Without this knowledge, training athletes to meet the standards older age groups higher levels may be random, inefficient, or effective. Therefore, purpose study was determine A retrospective database review performed for 200 male AAA players between ages 13 17 (age, 14.4 ±...
Postgraduate medical residency programs are laborious and timeintensive, can be physically, intellectually emotionally demanding. These working conditions may lead to the neglect of personal health well-being. The objective this study was compare anthropometric fitness characteristics surgical nonsurgical residents. We hypothesized that there is a difference in physical between these 2 groups.Medical residents completed demographic information questionnaire were assessed by trained staff for...
Abstract Purpose: To examine the safety and tolerability of clinical graded aerobic treadmill testing in recovering adolescent moderate severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients referred to a multidisciplinary pediatric concussion program. Methods: We completed retrospective case series two five TBI (mean age, 17.3 years) who underwent initial Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Testing at mean time 71.6 days (range, 55-87) postinjury. Results: Six one test each patient repeat testing. There...

The purpose this study was to evaluate power output (PO) It hypothesized that with each successive increase age, there would be an associated change PO. Two hundred fifty-one male players between ages 13-17 years participated study. All...
Objective: Report the clinical findings and outcomes among pediatric patients diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) after sports-related concussion (SRC). Design: Retrospective case series. Setting: Multidisciplinary program. Patients: Patients younger than 19 years a sport or recreation activity–related referred for comprehensive vestibular physiotherapy assessment. Main outcome measure: Symptom resolution targeted particle repositioning (PR). Results: During study...
