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.
Epidemiology of traumatic spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury treated in emergency departments in the United States: 2006 to 2020
CONCLUSION: TSCI alone and dual diagnosis visits are rising nationally in EDs; these patients have higher morbidity rates and may require more specialized care. These patients are among the most vulnerable socioeconomically. The increase in ED visits among these populations underscores the need for adequate and sufficient outpatient care to support their ongoing treatment and […]
Time-course responses following sports-related concussion:A multi-modality study
CONCLUSION: Players with SRC show acute changes in cortical inhibition, resolving by 26-days after injury, which follows a longer time-course for recovery compared to symptoms, cognitive tests, and oculomotor eye-pursuits. These results suggest that measuring the recovery of athletes with SRC warrant further investigation using physiological testing to accompany clinical measures in the determination of […]
Factors Associated With Cardiovascular Mortality After Complicated Mild to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): A TBI Model Systems Study
CONCLUSION: Over 1 in 5 deaths following TBI were due to cardiovascular causes. Older age, male sex, being divorced, and having lower FIM motor scores are risk factors, whereas being employed, having private health insurance, and PTA >30 days are protective factors for cardiovascular mortality.
