Potential for Wearable Sensor-Based Field-Deployable Diagnosis and Monitoring of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Scoping Review
Studies have shown that wearable commercial off-the-shelf sensors, such as accelerometers, inertial measurement units, and heart monitors, can distinguish between individuals with a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and uninjured controls. However, there is no consensus on which metrics derived from wearable sensors are best to use for objective identification of mTBI symptoms. The primary […]
Age-Adjusted Cut-Off Values for Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein and Ubiquitin Carboxy-Terminal Hydrolase L1 Improve the Diagnostic Accuracy of the Abbott Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Assay
Objectives: To establish age-adjusted cut-off values for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) and assess their impact on the diagnostic performance of the mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) assay. Methods: The study included 175 adult mTBI patients presenting at the emergency department (ED) within 12 h from head trauma in […]
The Impact of Concussions on Neuromuscular Control and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Risk in Female Soccer Players: Mechanisms and Prevention-A Narrative Review
Background/Objectives: Soccer players, particularly females, exhibit an increased risk of both concussions and Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries. Emerging evidence suggests that neurcognitive deficits following concussions may impair neuromuscular control, increasing ACL injury susceptibility. This study aims to explore the interplay between concussions, neuromuscular deficits, and ACL injury risk, while proposing targeted prevention strategies. Methods: […]
Boys Versus Girls Youth Sports Participation Risk for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Behavioral, Physical Health, and Neurocognitive Outcomes
CONCLUSION: The association between sports participation and mTBI risks differs by sex for certain sports. Compared to girls, boys had a higher mTBI risk in tennis but a lower mTBI risk in swimming/water polo. This indicates that implementing sex-specific strategies to mitigate mTBI risks in sports participation could be beneficial.
Characterizing Intimate Partner Violence-Related Head Trauma in Community-Recruited Women
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides important information on the experience of HT among women with exposure to IPV. Such findings may improve our ability to characterize and understand the injuries resulting from IPV among women, which may, in turn, benefit existing tools for determining experiences of IPV-HT and probable brain injury.
