Eye tracking technology in sports-related concussion: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Eye tracking technology in the acute injury phase holds promise in differentiating between athletes who have a concussion compared to those who do not, and therefore eye tracking technology may be a useful and sensitive screening and monitoring tool for sports-related concussions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Balance training in individuals with Parkinson's disease: Therapist-supervised vs. home-based exercise programme.

TL;DR: The home-based balance programme was effective in improving some aspects of gait, albeit the programme supervised by an exercise therapist included somewhat more benefits after the intervention i.e. stride velocity and cadence in individuals with mild to moderate PD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ruck-Play as Performance Indicator during the 2010 Six Nations Championship

TL;DR: In this article, a performance analysis of 15 Six Nations Championship matches was carried out to determine if a relationship exists between the ruck outcomes and ranking of the 2010 Six Nations championship teams, establish differences between locations, compare the top to bottom ranked teams and if the number of players involved influences ruck outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Backward compared to forward over ground gait retraining have additional benefits for gait in individuals with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease: A randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: Both interventions were effective to improved gait speed sufficiently to independently navigate in the community and demonstrate improved cadence, stride length and stride length.
