Abstract:
Neuropsychological or neurocognitive tests provide information regarding the cognitive and emotional status of the concussed athlete. The development and availability of computerized testing platforms has allowed the application of baseline and follow-up testing models, and provide a more precise measurement of reaction time and processing speed. A combination of computerized assessment and a more expanded battery of tests may be a better approach to understanding the nature of the cognitive impact of sports concussion in youth athletes. This approach may be especially important for athletes with general risk factors and other potential modifiers or influencers on the cognitive performance data.
