..To establish the sensitivity and specificity of the NeuroCom Sensory Organization Test (SOT) and provide practitioners with cut-scores for clinical decision making using estimates of reliable change...

..To establish the clinical utility of the PROPRIO 5000 as a balance assessment device by establishing convergent validity with the NeuroCom sensory organization test (SOT)...

..These tests have been adopted readily by many clinicians based on existing test-retest reliability data provided by test developers...

..Reliance on athlete-reported, postconcussion symptoms when making return-to-play decisions may expose athletes to subsequent injury if complete recovery has not occurred...

..09; -2.07, -0.11) and postural control (-1.16; -2.59, 0.27). Our findings demonstrated large effects for each aspect of the assessment battery. These findings support the use of the multifaceted concussion evaluation...

..Our study investigated the sensitivity of concussion-related symptoms, a postural control evaluation, and neurocognitive functioning in concussed collegiate athletes...

..Little is known about the impact biomechanics sustained by players during interscholastic football...

..Clinicians using the BESS as a balance assessment device at multiple time points should be consistent in the application of ankle support devices...

..It is speculated that a shared neural process, such as visuospatial attention is damaged resulting in similar deficits in cognitive and motor function...

..Postural control and cognitive function are adversely affected by acute mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Whether postural-control deficits persist beyond the acute stage in individuals with a history of mTBI is unclear...

..6–3.8 million cases annually. Understanding the biomechanical properties of this injury will support the development of better diagnostics and preventative techniques...

....

..Such findings also suggest the need for additional research to fully elucidate the extent to which concussive injuries negatively impact brain health and cognition...

..Concussed athlete evaluations often include symptoms, balance, and neurocognitive assessments. We sought to identify the relationship between subjective symptom reports and objective clinical measures...

..It is not clear if these persistent deficits will manifest into clinical pathologies later in life...

..As such, RT variability is not a unique identifier of cognitive dysfunction following concussion. These results highlight that transient brain injury has significantly different neurobiological consequences than chronic conditions have...

..To estimate the incidence rate of concussions in wheelchair basketball...

..An assessment of postural control is commonly included in the clinical concussion evaluation. Previous investigators have demonstrated learning effects that may mask concussion-induced balance decrements...

..To examine the effects of concussion on gait patterns of young adults with and without a history of concussion during single- and dual-task paradigms...

..Additional research may provide insight into the role of using an unstable surface with the SEBT as part of an injury risk assessment and its use in identifying limb differences between injured and uninjured limbs...

..Decrements to both systems have been observed following concussion. This study evaluated a dual-task methodology to establish the tenability of using this testing model in concussed athletes...

..Neither participation in soccer nor a history of soccer-related concussions was associated with impaired performance of neurocognitive function in high-level United States soccer players...
