Construct Validity of the Tower of London Test: Generating a Construct Specification Equation Relating Problem Characteristics to Problem Difficulty in a Sample of Veterans with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
The Tower of London (TOL) is a set of problem-solving tasks that are commonly used to measure cognition. No studies have developed construct specification equations (CSEs) to mathematically quantify how the characteristics of test problems relate to the difficulty of the problem in the TOL. We aimed to investigate the relationship between TOL problem characteristics […]
A Proof-of-Concept Development on Speech Analysis for Concussion Detection
Speech signal analysis to support objective clinical decision-making has gained immense interest, especially in neurological disorders. This research assessed the feasibility of speech analysis on the detection of concussions. Using a speech dataset from 82 concussed and 82 healthy participants, we extracted two speech feature sets focusing on Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) to characterize […]
Change in Head Impact Exposure following Return-to-Sport in Concussed Football Athletes
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence for a shift in head impact exposure after returning from concussion, seen most strongly in the immediate days after return-to-sport. These findings align with the recent shift toward more conservative post-concussion management seen across multiple sports and playing levels.
Craniofacial Injuries in Combat Sports: Patterns Across Boxing, Wrestling, and Martial Arts
INTRODUCTION: Combat sports, including boxing, wrestling, and martial arts, have surged in popularity across the United States, raising concerns over craniofacial injuries. Despite clinical awareness, large-scale epidemiologic data comparing injury patterns across combat sport disciplines remain limited.
