CONTEXT
Lack of empirical data on recovery time following sport-related concussion hampers clinical decision making about return to play after injury.
OBJECTIVE
To prospectively measure immediate effects and natural recovery course relating to symptoms, cognitive functioning, and postural stability following sport-related concussion.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS
Prospective cohort study of 1631 football players from 15 US colleges. All players underwent preseason baseline testing on…

Standard regression-based methods for measuring recovery after sport-related concussion
- Psychology, MedicineJournal of the International Neuropsychological Society
- 2005
The implementation of neuropsychological testing to detect subtle cognitive impairment is most useful once postconcussive symptoms have resolved, and this management model is also supported by practical and other methodological considerations.
Natural History of Concussion in Sport
- MedicineThe American journal of sports medicine
- 2010
Delayed return to sport was associated with initially greater symptom load, prolonged headache, or subjective concentration deficits, and symptom assessment alone may be predictive of but may underestimate time to complete recovery, which may be better estimated with computerized cognitive testing.
Cumulative effects associated with recurrent concussion in collegiate football players: the NCAA Concussion Study.
- MedicineJAMA
- 2003
This study suggests thatPlayers with a history of previous concussions are more likely to have future concussive injuries than those with no history; 1 in 15 players with a concussion may have additional concussions in the same playing season; and previous concussion may be associated with slower recovery of neurological function.
Predicting Recovery Patterns After Sport-Related Concussion.
- Psychology, MedicineJournal of athletic training
- 2017
Current clinical practice is supported: recommending that athletes be withheld from activity until they are asymptomatic, followed by a graduated return-to-play progression, as group recovery occurred within normal timelines.
Age Differences in Recovery After Sport-Related Concussion: A Comparison of High School and Collegiate Athletes.
- EducationJournal of athletic training
- 2016
The findings suggest no clinically significant age differences exist in recovery after sport-related concussion, and therefore, separate injury-management protocols are not needed for high school and collegiate athletes.
MEASUREMENT OF HEAD IMPACTS IN COLLEGIATE FOOTBALL PLAYERS: CLINICAL MEASURES OF CONCUSSION AFTER HIGH‐ AND LOW‐MAGNITUDE IMPACTS
- PsychologyNeurosurgery
- 2007
It is suggested that sustaining an impact greater than 90 g does not result in acute observable balance and neurocognitive deficits within 24 hours of sustaining the impact and future studies should consider the cumulative effects of impacts of varying magnitudes.
Neurocognitive deficits observed on high school football players with history of concussion: A preliminary study
- Psychology, Medicine2016 IEEE International Conference on Electro Information Technology (EIT)
- 2016
Long-term concussion effects on the performance of athletes who had multiple concussion histories are revealed and enduring neurocognitive deficits observed from this study suggest that athletes with concussion history may require more prolonged recovery time compared to healthy athletes.
Post-concussion cognitive declines and symptomatology are not related to concussion biomechanics in high school football players.
- MedicineJournal of neurotrauma
- 2011
There appears to be no association between head impact biomechanics and post-concussive outcomes in high school athletes and the use of biomechanical variables to predict injury severity does not appear feasible at this time.
Differential Rates of Recovery After Acute Sport-Related Concussion: Electrophysiologic, Symptomatic, and Neurocognitive Indices
- MedicineJournal of clinical neurophysiology : official publication of the American Electroencephalographic Society
- 2012
Changes in MEPs, which persist for up to 10 days after injury and do not follow the same recovery pattern as symptoms and neuropsychological test performance, most likely indicate different pathophysiological processes occurring in the immediate postconcussion period.
Recovery from sports concussion in high school and collegiate athletes
- PsychologyBrain injury
- 2006
Cognitive performance deficits in concussed athletes may persist to 7 and even to 14 days in some cases, and the athlete's post-concussion cognitive functioning should be considered when making return-to-play decisions.
