Cognitive-motor integration deficits in young adult athletes following concussion

Abstract: BackgroundThe ability to perform visually-guided motor tasks requires the transformation of visual information into programmed motor outputs. When the guiding visual information does not align spatially with the motor output, the brain processes rules to integrate the information for an appropriate motor response. Here, we look at how performance on such tasks is affected in young adult athletes with concussion history.MethodsParticipants displaced a cursor from a central to peripheral targets on a vertical di… Show more

“…A history of previous concussion has been shown to alter a variety of behavioral, structural, and functional measurements in young adults. Behaviorally, changes have been demonstrated in reaching movements requiring complex visuomotor transformations [5], measurements of executive function and processing speed [9], tests of attention and concentration [38], and tasks probing verbal fluency function [34]. The functional alterations associated with a history of concussion may be related to corresponding changes occurring in brain structure and physiology [7,11,12,34,41,51].…”

“…This finding suggests that including a feedback reversal in addition to a plane change in the current study may have increased the sensitivity of our measures to detect age-related differences. A future study including a plane change only condition and a feedback reversal only condition (Brown et al, 2015; could be helpful in elucidating the interplay between these different levels of visual-motor dissociation and developmental changes.…”

“…One might argue that the first half of this U-shaped function comprises the results presented here, at least for movement planning (cf., Figure 2(a)). The eye-hand-decoupled task in combination with the direct interaction task used in the present study has been proven to be an effective and sensitive assessment tool in detecting performance declines in neurological disorder populations, e.g., in participants with high Alzheimer's risk, mild cognitive impairment, and a history of concussion (Brown et al, 2015;Salek et al, 2011). Therefore, the present task might be able to provide timely knowledge about potential developmental delays and dysfunction and issues related to complex eye-hand coordination performance in youth populations (Piek et al, 2006).…”
