abstract = {The number of high school students who participate in athletics has increased over the past decade. There has also been an increased emphasis placed on athletic involvement and physical strength and ability. This has led to increased awareness of athletic injuries such as concussions. While concussions are not a new injury, the medical community has revisited how they evaluate and manage concussions, leading to new guidelines and protocols for states, districts, and schools. Concussions can occur in nearly any sport and can affect each student-athlete differently both physically and cognitively. Without a set time-frame for a recovery, school personnel must have an understanding of the medical treatment and how that can be applied to academics. The main goal of this article is to aide coaches, teachers, administrators and health professionals in developing a concussion protocol for their school or district based on current best practice guidelines. All concussions are different and require a multidisciplinary approach to ensure the student-athlete's safety and well-being are appropriately handled. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]},

Popular treatments of the topic like the movie Concussion (Landesman, 2015) explore some of the ethical issues from the point of view of the doctors, players and league most prone to concussive injuries like Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). This commentary explores the literature relevant to concussion in sports with a focus on football to develop ethical themes, informed consent, paternalism, bioethics, truthfulness, rights, and justice. A lack of scientific consensus on defining concussions and confusion in a sports knowledge base in this area undermines reassurances that concussions can be managed properly. The social benefits of contact sports along with the risk of concussed athletes is also considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]},

abstract = {Matched control data are commonly used to examine recovery from concussion. Limited data exist, however, examining dual-task gait data consistency collected over time in healthy individuals. The study purposes were to: 1) assess the consistency of single-task and dual-task gait balance control measures, 2) determine the minimal detectable change (MDC) of gait balance control measures, and 3) examine the extent to which age and task complexity affect dual-task walking costs in healthy adolescents and young adults. Twenty-four adolescent (mean age=15.5±1.1years) and 21 young adult (mean age=21.2±4.5years) healthy participants completed 5 testing sessions across a two-month period, which involved analyses of gait balance control and temporal-distance variables during single-task and dual-task walking conditions in a motion analysis laboratory. Cronbach's $alpha$ and MDCs were used to determine the consistency of the gait balance control variables and the smallest amount of change required to distinguish true performance from change due to the performance/measurement variability, respectively. Dual-task costs were evaluated to determine the effect of task complexity and age across time using 3-way ANOVAs. Good to excellent test-retest consistency was found for all single-task and dual-task walking (Cronbach's $alpha$ range: 0.764-0.970), with a center-of-mass medial-lateral displacement MDC range of 0.835-0.948cm. Greater frontal plane dual-task costs were observed during more complex secondary tasks (p\<0.001). The results revealed good-excellent consistency across testing sessions for all variables and indicated dual-task costs are affected by task complexity. Thus, healthy controls can be effective comparators when assessing injured subjects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]},

The various types of martial arts encompass noncontact basic forms and techniques that may have a lower relative risk of injury. Contact-based sparring with competitive training and bouts have a higher risk of injury. This clinical report describes important techniques and movement patterns in several types of martial arts and reviews frequently reported injuries encountered in each discipline, with focused discussions of higher risk activities. Some of these higher risk activities include blows to the head and choking or submission movements that may cause concussions or significant head injuries. The roles of rule changes, documented benefits of protective equipment, and changes in training recommendations in attempts to reduce injury are critically assessed. This information is intended to help pediatric health care providers counsel patients and families in encouraging safe participation in martial arts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]},

abstract = {Concussions are a major public health concern in the United States, especially among children and adolescents. Although there is a growing body of literature regarding the underlying physiologic processes that occur after a concussion, there is no consensus regarding the risk factors for a concussion or the reasons for significant differences in recovery. There is a paucity of research on the educational outcomes of students who sustain concussions because much of the current literature is based on adults and/or athletes. Researchers and practitioners are beginning to focus on youth with concussions with the goal of reducing incidence through prevention and facilitating recovery through accurate assessment and effective treatment. School psychologists can play a key role in prevention, assessment, and intervention through the implementation of a school-based concussion protocol. Effective communication between stakeholders is an essential component to this protocol, and is critical to the support and management of students who have sustained a concussion. The purpose of this article is to provide a review of the current literature on concussions in youth and present a school-based protocol that includes a stepwise progression for assisting a student to "return to learn" (Baker et al., 2014), integrated within a problem-solving model. The importance of effective interdisciplinary communication is emphasized throughout, and suggestions to enhance communication across stakeholders are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]},

abstract = {Purpose: To determine if the rate of sport-related concussion (SRC) is lower following state interscholastic athletic association mandated rule change (effective starting with 2014 season) that limited amount and duration of full contact activities during high school football practice sessions. The new rule prohibited full contact during week 1, and limited full contact to 75 min/wk during week 2 and to 60 min/wk week 3 and beyond. Full contact was defined as drills or game situations that occur at game speed when full tackles are made at a competitive pace and players are taken to the ground. Methods: Prospective cohort study of US high school football players (grades 9-12). Prior to rule change - 2012 (36 schools), 2013 (18 schools) seasons, 2081 players (age = 15.9+1.2 yrs). After rule change - 2014 season (26 schools), 945 players (age = 15.9 + 1.1 yrs). Players provided previous concussion and demographic information by self-report. Licensed Athletic Trainers recorded incidence and severity (median, IQR days lost) for each SRC. Chi-square tests were used to compare incidence of SRC in pre-rule 2012/2013 seasons with incidence in post-rule 2014 season. Wilcoxon Rank Sum tests were used to determine differences in severity (days lost) of SRC. Results: Total of 67 players (7.1%) sustained 70 SRC in 2014 compared to 206 players (9.0%) who sustained 211 SRC in 2012/2013 combined. Overall rate of SRC per 1000 Athletic Exposures (AE) was 1.28 in 2014 compared to 1.57 in 2012/2013 (p=0.155). Tackling was primary mechanism of injury for 46% of all SRC. The rate of SRC sustained overall in practice was significantly lower (p=.003) post-rule in 2014 (15 SRCs, 0.33/1000AE) compared to pre-rule 2012/2013 (86 SRCs, 0.76/1000AE). For 2014 season,12/15 SRCs were sustained during full contact practices, compared to 82/86 SRCs in 2012/2013 seasons. The rate of SRC in full contact practice was 0.57/1000AE in 2014 compared to 0.87/1000AE in 2012/2013 (p=0.216). There was no difference (p = 0.999) in the rate of SRC sustained in games pre (5.81/1000AE) and post rule (5.74/1000AE) change. There was no difference (p = 0.967) in severity of SRC pre (13 days lost [10-18 IQR]) and post rule (14 days lost [10.25-16 IQR]). Years of football playing experience did not affect incidence of SRC in 2014 season (p=0.941). Conclusions: The majority of SRC sustained in high school football practice occurred during full contact activities. The rate of SRC sustained in high school football practice was more than twice as high in the two seasons prior to a rule change limiting the amount and duration of full contact activities. Significance of Findings: Limitations on contact during high school football practice may be one effective measure to reduce the incidence of SRC.},

abstract = {The number of high school students who participate in athletics has increased over the past decade. There has also been an increased emphasis placed on athletic involvement and physical strength and ability. This has led to increased awareness of athletic injuries such as concussions. While concussions are not a new injury, the medical community has revisited how they evaluate and manage concussions, leading to new guidelines and protocols for states, districts, and schools. Concussions can occur in nearly any sport and can affect each student-athlete differently both physically and cognitively. Without a set time-frame for a recovery, school personnel must have an understanding of the medical treatment and how that can be applied to academics. The main goal of this article is to aide coaches, teachers, administrators and health professionals in developing a concussion protocol for their school or district based on current best practice guidelines. All concussions are different and require a multidisciplinary approach to ensure the student-athlete's safety and well-being are appropriately handled. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]},

The study purposes were to: 1) assess the consistency of single-task and dual-task gait balance control measures, 2) determine the minimal detectable change (MDC) of gait balance control measures, and 3) examine the extent to which age and task complexity affect dual-task walking costs in healthy adolescents and young adults. Twenty-four adolescent (mean age=15.5±1.1years) and 21 young adult (mean age=21.2±4.5years) healthy participants completed 5 testing sessions across a two-month period, which involved analyses of gait balance control and temporal-distance variables during single-task and dual-task walking conditions in a motion analysis laboratory. Cronbach's $alpha$ and MDCs were used to determine the consistency of the gait balance control variables and the smallest amount of change required to distinguish true performance from change due to the performance/measurement variability, respectively. Dual-task costs were evaluated to determine the effect of task complexity and age across time using 3-way ANOVAs. Good to excellent test-retest consistency was found for all single-task and dual-task walking (Cronbach's $alpha$ range: 0.764-0.970), with a center-of-mass medial-lateral displacement MDC range of 0.835-0.948cm. Greater frontal plane dual-task costs were observed during more complex secondary tasks (p\<0.001). The results revealed good-excellent consistency across testing sessions for all variables and indicated dual-task costs are affected by task complexity. Thus, healthy controls can be effective comparators when assessing injured subjects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]},

The various types of martial arts encompass noncontact basic forms and techniques that may have a lower relative risk of injury. Contact-based sparring with competitive training and bouts have a higher risk of injury. This clinical report describes important techniques and movement patterns in several types of martial arts and reviews frequently reported injuries encountered in each discipline, with focused discussions of higher risk activities. Some of these higher risk activities include blows to the head and choking or submission movements that may cause concussions or significant head injuries. The roles of rule changes, documented benefits of protective equipment, and changes in training recommendations in attempts to reduce injury are critically assessed. This information is intended to help pediatric health care providers counsel patients and families in encouraging safe participation in martial arts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]},

abstract = {Concussions are a major public health concern in the United States, especially among children and adolescents. Although there is a growing body of literature regarding the underlying physiologic processes that occur after a concussion, there is no consensus regarding the risk factors for a concussion or the reasons for significant differences in recovery. There is a paucity of research on the educational outcomes of students who sustain concussions because much of the current literature is based on adults and/or athletes. Researchers and practitioners are beginning to focus on youth with concussions with the goal of reducing incidence through prevention and facilitating recovery through accurate assessment and effective treatment. School psychologists can play a key role in prevention, assessment, and intervention through the implementation of a school-based concussion protocol. Effective communication between stakeholders is an essential component to this protocol, and is critical to the support and management of students who have sustained a concussion. The purpose of this article is to provide a review of the current literature on concussions in youth and present a school-based protocol that includes a stepwise progression for assisting a student to "return to learn" (Baker et al., 2014), integrated within a problem-solving model. The importance of effective interdisciplinary communication is emphasized throughout, and suggestions to enhance communication across stakeholders are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]},

pages = {21},
abstract = {Purpose: To determine if the rate of sport-related concussion (SRC) is lower following state interscholastic athletic association mandated rule change (effective starting with 2014 season) that limited amount and duration of full contact activities during high school football practice sessions. The new rule prohibited full contact during week 1, and limited full contact to 75 min/wk during week 2 and to 60 min/wk week 3 and beyond. Full contact was defined as drills or game situations that occur at game speed when full tackles are made at a competitive pace and players are taken to the ground. Methods: Prospective cohort study of US high school football players (grades 9-12). Prior to rule change - 2012 (36 schools), 2013 (18 schools) seasons, 2081 players (age = 15.9+1.2 yrs). After rule change - 2014 season (26 schools), 945 players (age = 15.9 + 1.1 yrs). Players provided previous concussion and demographic information by self-report. Licensed Athletic Trainers recorded incidence and severity (median, IQR days lost) for each SRC. Chi-square tests were used to compare incidence of SRC in pre-rule 2012/2013 seasons with incidence in post-rule 2014 season. Wilcoxon Rank Sum tests were used to determine differences in severity (days lost) of SRC. Results: Total of 67 players (7.1%) sustained 70 SRC in 2014 compared to 206 players (9.0%) who sustained 211 SRC in 2012/2013 combined. Overall rate of SRC per 1000 Athletic Exposures (AE) was 1.28 in 2014 compared to 1.57 in 2012/2013 (p=0.155). Tackling was primary mechanism of injury for 46% of all SRC. The rate of SRC sustained overall in practice was significantly lower (p=.003) post-rule in 2014 (15 SRCs, 0.33/1000AE) compared to pre-rule 2012/2013 (86 SRCs, 0.76/1000AE). For 2014 season,12/15 SRCs were sustained during full contact practices, compared to 82/86 SRCs in 2012/2013 seasons. The rate of SRC in full contact practice was 0.57/1000AE in 2014 compared to 0.87/1000AE in 2012/2013 (p=0.216). There was no difference (p = 0.999) in the rate of SRC sustained in games pre (5.81/1000AE) and post rule (5.74/1000AE) change. There was no difference (p = 0.967) in severity of SRC pre (13 days lost [10-18 IQR]) and post rule (14 days lost [10.25-16 IQR]). Years of football playing experience did not affect incidence of SRC in 2014 season (p=0.941). Conclusions: The majority of SRC sustained in high school football practice occurred during full contact activities. The rate of SRC sustained in high school football practice was more than twice as high in the two seasons prior to a rule change limiting the amount and duration of full contact activities. Significance of Findings: Limitations on contact during high school football practice may be one effective measure to reduce the incidence of SRC.},

abstract = {The martial arts can provide children and adolescents with vigorous levels of physical exercise that can improve overall physical fitness. The various types of martial arts encompass noncontact basic forms and techniques that may have a lower relative risk of injury. Contact-based sparring with competitive training and bouts have a higher risk of injury. This clinical report describes important techniques and movement patterns in several types of martial arts and reviews frequently reported injuries encountered in each discipline, with focused discussions of higher risk activities. Some of these higher risk activities include blows to the head and choking or submission movements that may cause concussions or significant head injuries. The roles of rule changes, documented benefits of protective equipment, and changes in training recommendations in attempts to reduce injury are critically assessed. This information is intended to help pediatric health care providers counsel patients and families in encouraging safe participation in martial arts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]},

abstract = {Concussions are a major public health concern in the United States, especially among children and adolescents. Although there is a growing body of literature regarding the underlying physiologic processes that occur after a concussion, there is no consensus regarding the risk factors for a concussion or the reasons for significant differences in recovery. There is a paucity of research on the educational outcomes of students who sustain concussions because much of the current literature is based on adults and/or athletes. Researchers and practitioners are beginning to focus on youth with concussions with the goal of reducing incidence through prevention and facilitating recovery through accurate assessment and effective treatment. School psychologists can play a key role in prevention, assessment, and intervention through the implementation of a school-based concussion protocol. Effective communication between stakeholders is an essential component to this protocol, and is critical to the support and management of students who have sustained a concussion. The purpose of this article is to provide a review of the current literature on concussions in youth and present a school-based protocol that includes a stepwise progression for assisting a student to "return to learn" (Baker et al., 2014), integrated within a problem-solving model. The importance of effective interdisciplinary communication is emphasized throughout, and suggestions to enhance communication across stakeholders are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]},

abstract = {Purpose: To determine if the rate of sport-related concussion (SRC) is lower following state interscholastic athletic association mandated rule change (effective starting with 2014 season) that limited amount and duration of full contact activities during high school football practice sessions. The new rule prohibited full contact during week 1, and limited full contact to 75 min/wk during week 2 and to 60 min/wk week 3 and beyond. Full contact was defined as drills or game situations that occur at game speed when full tackles are made at a competitive pace and players are taken to the ground. Methods: Prospective cohort study of US high school football players (grades 9-12). Prior to rule change - 2012 (36 schools), 2013 (18 schools) seasons, 2081 players (age = 15.9+1.2 yrs). After rule change - 2014 season (26 schools), 945 players (age = 15.9 + 1.1 yrs). Players provided previous concussion and demographic information by self-report. Licensed Athletic Trainers recorded incidence and severity (median, IQR days lost) for each SRC. Chi-square tests were used to compare incidence of SRC in pre-rule 2012/2013 seasons with incidence in post-rule 2014 season. Wilcoxon Rank Sum tests were used to determine differences in severity (days lost) of SRC. Results: Total of 67 players (7.1%) sustained 70 SRC in 2014 compared to 206 players (9.0%) who sustained 211 SRC in 2012/2013 combined. Overall rate of SRC per 1000 Athletic Exposures (AE) was 1.28 in 2014 compared to 1.57 in 2012/2013 (p=0.155). Tackling was primary mechanism of injury for 46% of all SRC. The rate of SRC sustained overall in practice was significantly lower (p=.003) post-rule in 2014 (15 SRCs, 0.33/1000AE) compared to pre-rule 2012/2013 (86 SRCs, 0.76/1000AE). For 2014 season,12/15 SRCs were sustained during full contact practices, compared to 82/86 SRCs in 2012/2013 seasons. The rate of SRC in full contact practice was 0.57/1000AE in 2014 compared to 0.87/1000AE in 2012/2013 (p=0.216). There was no difference (p = 0.999) in the rate of SRC sustained in games pre (5.81/1000AE) and post rule (5.74/1000AE) change. There was no difference (p = 0.967) in severity of SRC pre (13 days lost [10-18 IQR]) and post rule (14 days lost [10.25-16 IQR]). Years of football playing experience did not affect incidence of SRC in 2014 season (p=0.941). Conclusions: The majority of SRC sustained in high school football practice occurred during full contact activities. The rate of SRC sustained in high school football practice was more than twice as high in the two seasons prior to a rule change limiting the amount and duration of full contact activities. Significance of Findings: Limitations on contact during high school football practice may be one effective measure to reduce the incidence of SRC.},
