Abstract

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess a clinically feasible DT protocol consisting of the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) and Standard Assessment of Concussion (SAC) administered simultaneously during and beyond clinically determined concussion recovery.

Method: We recruited 28 collegiate student-athletes (14 post-concussion, 14 control) who performed a DT BESS and SAC assessment at three timepoints: 1) clinical recovery, 2) return to play (RTP) day, and 3) 30 days post-concussion. Scores on each component were assessed with a linear mixed model ANOVA with repeated measures and task prioritization was assessed with a Chi-Square.

Results: There was not a significant group by time interaction for the BESS (F: 0.48, p = 0.625, ή² = 0.018) or SAC (F: 1.927, p = 0.156, ή² = 0.069), but there was a significant difference in task prioritization at RTP (χ²: 13.4, p = 0.010).

Conclusion: While group performance did not differ over time, the concussion participants had a range of task prioritizations at RTP, including mutual interference, which could help identify athletes with incomplete neurological recovery.

脑震荡恢复：双重任务表现和优先级。

目的：本研究的目的是评估一种临床可行的DT方案，该方案由平衡误差评分系统（BESS）和脑震荡标准评估（SAC）组成，在临床确定的脑震荡恢复期间和之后同时实施。方法：我们招募了28名大学生运动员（14名脑震荡后，14名对照组），他们在三个时间点进行了DT BESS和SAC评估：1)临床恢复，2)恢复比赛（RTP）日，3)脑震荡后30天。使用重复测量的线性混合模型方差分析评估每个成分的得分，使用卡方分析评估任务优先级。结果：在时间交互作用上，BESS （F: 0.48, p = 0.625，记载2 = 0.018）和SAC （F: 1.927, p = 0.156，记载2 = 0.069）没有显著组，但在RTP上的任务优先级有显著差异（χ2: 13.4, p = 0.010）。结论：虽然小组表现没有随时间的变化而变化，但脑震荡参与者在RTP中有一系列的任务优先级，包括相互干扰，这可以帮助识别神经恢复不完全的运动员。

期刊介绍： The Physician and Sportsmedicine is a peer-reviewed, clinically oriented publication for primary care physicians. We examine the latest drug discoveries to advance treatment and recovery, and take into account the medical aspects of exercise therapy for a given condition. We cover the latest primary care-focused treatments serving the needs of our active patient population, and assess the limits these treatments govern in stabilization and recovery. The Physician and Sportsmedicine is a peer-to-peer method of communicating the latest research to aid primary care physicians’ advancement in methods of care and treatment. We routinely cover such topics as: managing chronic disease, surgical techniques in preventing and managing injuries, the latest advancements in treatments for helping patients lose weight, and related exercise and nutrition topics that can impact the patient during recovery and modification.
