Quantitative video analysis of head acceleration events: a review
The biomechanics of head acceleration events (HAEs) in sport have received increasing attention due to growing concern over concussion and long-term neurodegenerative disease risk. While wearable sensors, such as instrumented mouthguards (iMGs), are now commonly used to measure HAEs, these devices face well-documented challenges, including poor skull coupling, limited compliance, and high false-positive rates. Video […]
The Role of MRI in Debunking the Fallacy of "Mild" Traumatic Brain Injury
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a prevalent yet often overlooked public health concern due to the absence of detectable abnormalities on CT or conventional MRI scans. Approximately 18.3%-31.3% of mTBI patients experience persistent symptoms 3-6 months post-injury, despite normal imaging results, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. In recent years, advanced neuroimaging modalities have emerged […]
Transient spinal neuropraxia in pediatric patients: analysis of an institutional experience 4 decades after the introduction of spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality
CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort, patients with MRI-negative neuropraxic cervical SCI were predominantly adolescent male athletes who recovered from their injuries within a few days without surgery or prolonged use of cervical collars. The authors assert that the term "transient spinal neuropraxia in pediatric patients" (T-SNIPP) is more appropriate to describe these injuries in the modern, […]
Post-concussion clinical findings of oculomotor function in paediatric patients with persisting symptoms compared to healthy controls
CONCLUSION: The oculomotor profile of persistently symptomatic concussed paediatric participants shows a high frequency of vergence and accommodative deficits, for which NPC and AA are effective screening tools. Further investigation should examine oculomotor deficits in acutely concussed paediatric patients.
