Abstract:A growing consensus among concussion experts is that a formal gait assessment is an essential component in return-to-play decisions. Concussion research illustrates that gait variables follow a pattern of recovery that may be more protracted than cognitive recovery, suggesting that gait dynamics may be more sensitive to the sequelae of concussion, and accelerometer data may enhance that sensitivity. However, pediatric neuropsychologists have few available options for quantitatively assessing gait. We here intr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
