Polygenic Score Identifies Athletes at Increased Risk for Slower Recovery After Sport-Related Concussion: A Concussion Assessment, Research, and Education (CARE) Consortium Study

Zhiqi Zhang, Jill L. Reiter, Kelly Nudelman, Dongbing Lai et autres

BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that genetic variations contribute to individual differences in concussion recovery. A polygenic score (PGS) can capture the cumulative effect of multiple genetic variants, providing a partial explanation for individual differences in recovery times. OBJECTIVES: In this study, our …

Head Kinematics and Brain Tissue Deformation from Soccer Heading: A Review of Implications for Brain Injury Risk

C. L. S. Lewis, Anu Tripathi, Alison Brooks, Peter Ferrazzano et autres

Purpose: Repeated heading of soccer balls has raised concerns of potential long-term neurological effects. Consequently, numerous studies have estimated head kinematics and brain deformation due to soccer headers across different cohorts and play scenarios to identify higher risk conditions. However, heterogeneity in …

Development and Validation of the Wisconsin Sport Specialization Questionnaire (WISSQ-JR) for Youth Athletes Aged 10-13 Years

Stephanie Kliethermes, Evan Nelson, Kevin Biese, Alison Brooks et autres

Background: Youth sport specialization is thought to have numerous physical and psychosocial consequences; however, the supporting evidence is mixed. This may be due, in part, to a lack of validated tools available to accurately measure an athlete’s level of specialization. The Wisconsin …

Field Evaluation of a Wearable Instrumented Headband Designed for Measuring Head Kinematics

Anu Tripathi, Yang Wan, Zhiren Zhu, Furkan Camci et autres

Abstract Purpose To study the relationship between soccer heading and the risk of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), we previously developed an instrumented headband and data-processing scheme to measure the angular head kinematics of soccer headers. Laboratory evaluation of the headband on …
