Vestibular rehabilitation for dizziness and balance disorders after concussion.

TL;DR: Vestibular rehabilitation should be considered in the management of individuals post concussion who have dizziness and gait and balance dysfunction that do not resolve with rest, indicating that vestibular Rehabilitation may equally benefit both children and adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gait stability following concussion.

TL;DR: The findings of this study suggest that concussion may have long-term observable and measurable effects on the control of gait stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognitive task effects on gait stability following concussion

TL;DR: Trends of attentional deficits were present with the question and answer task, while the reaction time task seemed to help concussed individuals be more alert to their gait and stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tracking the recovery of visuospatial attention deficits in mild traumatic brain injury.

TL;DR: The results showed that the orienting and executive components were significantly affected by mTBI immediately after the injury, whereas the alerting component was not, and the lack of recovery in the executive component indicates that the degree and time course for recovery may be regionally specific.

Dual-Task Effect on Gait Balance Control in Adolescents With Concussion

TL;DR: It is suggested that concussion affects the ability of adolescents to control body posture during gait up to 2 months after injury and dual-task paradigms may provide additional useful information in the clinical assessment and recovery of concussion.

Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement

TL;DR: The Fourth Edition of Biomechanics as an Interdiscipline: A Review of the Fourth Edition focuses on biomechanical Electromyography, with a focus on the relationship between Electromyogram and Biomechinical Variables.

A fortran package for generalized, cross-validatory spline smoothing and differentiation

TL;DR: A subroutine package is presented in which the amount of smoothing on a set of n noisy datapoints is determined from the data by means of the Generalized Cross-Validation or predicted Mean-Squared Error criteria of Wahba and her collaborators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Center of mass velocity-position predictions for balance control

TL;DR: These findings expand the long-held concept that balance is based on CM position limits (i.e. the horizontal CM position has to be confined within the BOS to guarantee stable standing) to a concept based onCM velocity-position limits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Attentional demands for static and dynamic equilibrium

TL;DR: The results show that standing and walking conditions required more attention than sitting in a chair, and the attentional cost for walking was also significantly greater than for standing.

Practice Parameter: The management of concussion in sports (summary statement)

TL;DR: This practice parameter for the management of concussion in sports is not intended to justify boxing as a legitimate sport, nor should it be construed to conflict with the official stance of the American Academy of Neurology, which has called for a ban on boxing.
