The Effect of Social Determinants of Health on Clinical Recovery Following Concussion: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: Though limited literature exists, there is preliminary evidence to suggest that SDoH (specifically, economic stability, education access and quality, and social and community context) may have an impact on the clinical recovery from concussion. The dimensions evaluated varied between studies and the results were inconsistent. No single factor consistently affected clinical recovery; however, private insurance and race appear to have an association with the speed of recovery. Unfortunately, the potential intersection of these variables and other preinjury factors limits the ability to make clear recommendations....

Relationship between severity of concussion's symptoms and functional performance in children
CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that concussion symptom severity may not be directly related to functional performance in children. Therefore, it is crucial to incorporate functional performance measures alongside symptom assessment for comprehensive concussion management.PMID:38481094 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2329742 (Source: Brain Injury)

Return to Play Following Concussion: Role for Imaging?
Semin Musculoskelet Radiol 2024; 28: 193-202 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1778031This review surveys concussion management, focusing on the use of neuroimaging techniques in return to play (RTP) decisions. Clinical assessments traditionally were the foundation of concussion diagnoses. However, their subjective nature prompted an exploration of neuroimaging modalities to enhance diagnosis and management. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy provides information about metabolic changes and alterations in the absence of structural abnormalities. Diffusion tensor imaging uncovers microstructural changes in white matter. Functional magnetic ...

The Adolescent Patient Perspective on Activity Limitations Following Sport-Related Concussion
CONCLUSION: Our primary findings suggest that sport-related concussion influences many facets of the lives of adolescent athletes. Specifically, adolescent athletes identified activity restrictions primarily related to physical activity and sports participation.PMID:38477112 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0587.23 (Source: J Athl Train)

Collegiate Adapted Athlete Baseline Performance on the Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provide context for baseline VOMS performance in collegiate adapted athletes and identifying modifiers at baseline. Special consideration is warranted on vestibular and oculomotor assessment in adapted and para-sport athletes with a history of concussion and higher functional classifications.PMID:38477127 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0636.23 (Source: J Athl Train)
