Context: Heading, an integral component of soccer, exposes athletes to a large number head impacts over career. The literature has begun indicate that cumulative exposure may lead long-term functional and psychological deficits. Quantifying athlete's season is first step in understanding exposure. Objective: To measure the frequency magnitude direct collegiate women's soccer players across impact type, player position, game or practice scenario. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting:...
There is increasing societal concern about the long-term effects of repeated impacts from soccer heading, but there little information ways to reduce head impact severity. The purpose this study was identify factors that contribute acceleration during heading. One-hundred players completed 12 controlled headers. Peak linear (PLA) and rotational (PRA) accelerations were measured using a triaxial accelerometer gyroscope. Head contributing grouped into 3 categories: size (head mass, neck...
The purpose of this study was to measure peak linear and rotational head acceleration in women’s collegiate soccer explore the variations across different strategic scenarios. Game videos from 14 games were used identify scenario which athlete headed ball. Strategic scenarios included: bounce, secondary header, punt, throw-in, goal kick, corner kick. Peak accelerations measured using Smart Impact Monitor (Triax Technologies Inc., Norwalk, CT). Goal kick (38.8 ± 19.4 g, p = 0.001, ß 8.9; 9.3...
Differences in head–neck segment mass, purposeful heading technique, and cervical strength stiffness may contribute to differences head accelerations across sex age. The purpose of this study was compare acceleration age (youth [12–14 years old], high school collegiate) during soccer heading. One-hundred players (42 male, 58 female, 17.1 ± 3.5 years, 168.5 20.3 cm, 61.5 13.7 kg) completed 12 controlled headers at an initial ball velocity 11.2 m/s. Linear rotational were measured using a...
ABSTRACT Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between repetitive head impacts (RHI) and clinical concussion assessments across a season among collegiate football (FB) women’s soccer (WSOC) players. Methods Fifteen male FB 23 WSOC players participated in study. Participants were included if they medically cleared for unrestricted athletic participation. tested university training room on two occasions: preseason (PRE) postseason (POST). outcome measures...
The use of head kinematic measurement devices has recently proliferated owing to technology advances that make such more feasible. In parallel, demand understand the biomechanics impacts and injury in sports military increased as burden loading on brain received focused attention. As a result, field matured point needing methodological guidelines improve rigor consistency research reduce risk scientific bias. To this end, diverse group scientists undertook comprehensive effort define current...
Context Concussion research has primarily focused on sport-related mechanisms and excluded non–sport-related mechanisms. In adult populations, concussions (non-SRCs) demonstrated worse clinical outcomes compared with (SRCs); however, investigations of non-SRCs in college-aged patients are limited. Objectives To examine collegiate athletes SRCs explore sex differences among non-SRCs. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Clinical setting. Patients or Other Participants A total 3500 were...
The long-term effects of repetitive head impacts due to heading are an area increasing concern, and exposure must be accurately measured; however, the validity self-report cumulative soccer is not known. In order validate HeadCount, a 2-week recall questionnaire, number player-reported headers was compared observed by trained raters for men's women's collegiate teams during entire season competitive play using Spearman's correlations intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), calibrated...
The role of cervical muscle (neck) strength in traumatic brain and spine injury chronic neck pain disorders is an area active research. Characterization the normal ranges healthy young adults essential to designing future investigations how may act as a modifier for risk progression head disorders.To develop normative reference database adult population, evaluate relationship anthropometric measurements.Cross-sectional.An academic medical center research institution.A total 157 (18-35 years...
To determine the acute effects of repetitive soccer heading on postural control.Prospective study; participants were divided into 2 groups: a group and control group.Biomechanics laboratory.One hundred sixty participants, including youth (age = 13.0 ± 0.8 years), high school 17.2 1.0 collegiate 20.2 1.3 years) male female players, participated in this study.Participants performed 12 headers (initial velocity 11.2 m/s). Postural testing was both before (PRE) immediately after (POST)...
This study examined the association between estimated age of first exposure (eAFE) to contact sport participation and neurocognitive performance symptom ratings in U.S. service academy National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes. Male cadets (N = 891), who participate lacrosse (n 211), wrestling 170), ice hockey 81), soccer 119), rugby 10), or non-contact sports 298), completed Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) test before season. Generalized linear...
Context : Sensorimotor impairments are common sequela following concussion, but recovery a concussion is often determined through examiner scored clinical testing. There emerging technologies that provide objective methods to determine physiological impairment after the psychometrics of these tools lacking and must be established for use in practice. Objective The purpose this study was examine test–retest reliability reliable change estimates healthy young adults outcomes from 3 providing...
Background: Brain activity during knee movements is altered throughout the sensorimotor network after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Patients at 2 to 5 years surgery appear require greater neural perform basic movement patterns, but it unclear if brain differences within regions are present early surgery. It also unknown whether uninvolved elicit similar or unique compared with involved movements. Purpose: To examine in and patients 6 weeks ACLR control participants. Study...
Introduction: Collegiate marching artists face severe and prevalent stressors that may contribute to poor mental health unhealthy habits. The purpose of this study was determine the effect sex years participation in collegiate band on relationship between eating disorder risk perceived stress levels. Methods: Marching from an NCAA Division I university completed Eating Disorder Questionnaire-6 (EDEQ-6) Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) obtain disordered behaviors levels, respectively. Spearman...
The influence of repetitive head impacts on collegiate football players remains unclear as prior research is often limited to small samples or short-term studies focused single seasons. Our objective was determine the associations between career incident concussion and changes in neurocognitive function, postural stability, physical psychological health. In total, 574 enrolled Grand Alliance Concussion Assessment, Research Education (CARE) Consortium (median age 18.0 years [interquartile...
OBJECTIVE Concussion assessments typically include evaluations of self-reported symptoms, neurocognitive function, and postural control. Specifically, control is often assessed using the modified Balance Error Scoring System (mBESS). Although normative mBESS data exist, they may not be appropriate for all athletes, such as those who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (D/HoH). Given relationship between cochlea vestibular system, athletes D/HoH exhibit differences in due to potential dysfunction....
Since concussion is the most common injury in ice hockey, objective of current study was to elucidate risk factors, specific mechanisms, and clinical presentations men's women's hockey.Ice hockey players from 5 institutions participating Concussion Assessment, Research, Education Consortium were eligible for study. Participants who sustained a outside this sport excluded. There 332 (250 males, 82 females) athletes participated 47 (36 11 concussion.Previous (odds ratio (OR) = 2.00; 95%...
We have previously reported wearable loop sensors that can accurately monitor knee flexion with unique merits over the state of art. However, validation to date has been limited single-leg configurations, discrete angles, and in vitro (phantom-based) experiments. In this work, we take a major step forward explore bilateral monitoring continuous manner, vivo. The manuscript provides theoretical framework sensor operation reports detailed error analysis not for sensors. This includes flatness...
