A Neuroscientific Approach to the Examination of Concussions in Student-Athletes

13.2K
There is great variability in an individual’s risk for concussion and their corresponding recovery. A multifaceted approach to concussion evaluation is warranted; including baseline testing of athletes before participation in sport and timely evaluation post injury. The goal of this protocol is to provide an appropriate multifaceted approach to examine...

Development and Implementation of a Multi-Disciplinary Technology Enhanced Care Pathway for Youth and Adults with Concussion

7.0K
A multidisciplinary carepath to standardize disparate concussion care was developed and implemented at the Cleveland Clinic. The Cleveland Clinic Concussion (C3) mobile application was used to enable the carepath through biomechanical outcomes characterizing cognitive and motor function. Patient outcomes improved while cost of care was reduced following implementation.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Athletic trainers (ATs) often recommend concussion patients refrain from driving until symptom resolution. However, most ATs do not always advise driving restrictions, recognizing post-concussion driving dangers but not strongly endorsing them.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Concussion management requires careful consideration of activities that may exacerbate symptoms or pose risks.
  • Driving after a concussion presents unique challenges due to potential cognitive and motor impairments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and compare the driving management practices and opinions of athletic trainers (ATs) concerning concussed individuals.
  • To understand the prevalence and rationale behind driving restrictions recommended by ATs.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was distributed to 8,723 ATs, yielding a 10.8% response rate.
  • Data collected included demographics, management strategies, and Likert scale opinions on post-concussion driving.
  • Statistical analyses, including Kruskal-Wallis tests, compared driving restriction practices across different AT demographics.

Main Results:

  • 58.5% of ATs recommended driving restrictions 'sometimes,' while 37.9% recommended them 'always.'
  • ATs most frequently advised driving cessation until symptom resolution (44.7%) and utilized clinical exams for return-to-driving decisions (64.9%).
  • High school and clinical ATs reported instructing higher percentages of patients to refrain from driving compared to college ATs.

Conclusions:

  • Athletic trainers acknowledge the risks associated with driving after a concussion but exhibit varied approaches to recommending driving restrictions.
  • While most ATs advise some level of driving limitation, a strong, universal endorsement for complete cessation is not prevalent.
  • Differences in practice may be influenced by the patient population managed, with ATs in high school and clinical settings potentially being more conservative.
