Visual perturbation impacts upright postural stability in athletes with an acute concussion.

CONCLUSION: An athlete's ability to disregard visual perturbation stimuli is imperative for successful participation in sports. Due to the observed alterations in balance when given a visual perturbation task, it is suggested that athletes with acute concussions place more attention on the balance task and may disregard other less meaningful tasks.
