An Analysis of Guardian Cap Use and Changes in the Concussion Rate in National Football League Preseason Practices From 2018 to 2023
CONCLUSION: Required use of the Guardian Cap NXT was associated with a 54% to 62% reduction in the overall incidence of NFL practice concussions. However, when only concussions involving a helmet shell impact were considered, there was no longer a significant relationship between Guardian Cap NXT use and the incidence of concussions.
Selecting outcome measures to validate prognostic biomarkers of paediatric mild traumatic brain injury: challenges and priorities
Outcomes following paediatric mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are extremely heterogenous. While emerging biomarkers promise enhanced prognostic accuracy, a critical question remains unanswered-which outcome measures provide the most accurate assessment of injury impact? In this article, we highlight barriers to selecting appropriate outcome measures, including variability in how outcomes are defined and the wide range […]
Who should mark the homework? Concussion, conflicts of interest, and the constitution of expertise
Concussion in sport is increasingly understood as a public health crisis. A key facet of this crisis concerns the claim that industry-funded research results in conflicts of interest that fundamentally compromise scholarship. This poses a particular problem for policymakers when adjudicating upon who counts as an expert and what to do with the evidence that […]
Athletes Who Test Positive on Multiple Domains of the Vestibular-Ocular Motor Screen Take Longer to Return to Play
CONCLUSION: Athletes who test positive on >3 domains of the VOMS take longer to RTP than athletes who test positive on ≤3 domains of the VOMS at the time of initial evaluation.
VOMS Baseline Versus Postinjury: A Comparison of a Standardized Novel Prototype and a Virtual Reality Application in Sport-Related Concussion
CONCLUSION: In this Division I collegiate population, symptom provocation during the VOMS in VR is not different than with PRO at PI; however, this comparison was underpowered as no a priori sample size calculation was conducted.
