The utility of psychological readiness scales in predicting return to sport: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: This review underscores the value of psychological readiness assessments as predictors of RTS outcomes. The findings support their clinical utility, while also highlighting the need for further research into injury-specific and objective measures to enhance assessment accuracy. This systematic review has been registered in PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42025642947).
Neural reward processing among children with conduct disorder and mild traumatic brain injury in the ABCD study
CONCLUSIONS: Increased left amygdala and hippocampus activation in children with conduct disorder and a history of mild traumatic brain injury may reflect robust encoding of emotionally charged reward experiences, potentially reinforcing memory-guided, reward-seeking behaviors.
Pediatric concussion characteristics differ based on age
CONCLUSIONS: The results build on previous studies showing that younger pediatric patients sustain concussions mostly from non-sports mechanisms and endorse fewer symptoms which could be due to lower severity of injury and/or primarily relying on parent reporting of observable concussion symptoms. Pediatric concussion mechanism and presentation differ across ages, emphasizing the importance of age-appropriate symptom […]
Glymphatic system and mild traumatic brain injury: a mini review
Since the discovery of the glymphatic system in 2012, research on this brain-wide fluid exchange pathway has focused on understanding its role in different neurological diseases. Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a prevalent, yet often undiagnosed, condition that increases the risk of developing debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. mTBI may lead to impaired glymphatic system function […]
Subtle ocular motor deficits in people with chronic whiplash associated disorder compared to healthy controls
INTRODUCTION: More than 50% of people who are diagnosed with whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) will report symptoms 12 months and beyond after their initial onset. However, many signs and symptoms, such as dizziness, emotional lability, confusion, ocular movement abnormalities, and balance deficits, may not be directly attributed to the cervical spine and may be more consistent […]
