Overview

The overall objective is to provide an onsite diagnosis with subsequent return to play criteria, as well as, lower the risk of traumatic brain injury by primary prevention through cervical spine neuromuscular control and vision training. The central hypothesis is that improved understanding of neurocognitive measures and function will provide improved diagnosis of concussion and help reduce the incidence of subsequent sports-related injury.

Interventions

  • Other Cervical spine musculature
    Previously established cervical spine musculature training methodology will be utilized to develop a concussion prevention training program.

Primary outcome measures

  • Change in blood metabolite profile [Time frame: Through study completion, an athletic season average of 4 months]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • 12-30 year old competitive or recreational athletes

Exclusion criteria

  • Pre-existing condition preventing the ability to perform neck range of motion or a neck strength assessment
  • Recent exposure to head lice
  • Known or suspected pregnancy

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
