Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Sports Medicine
  • Rehabilitation Science

Background:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can cause persistent neurological deficits.
  • Assessing TBI recovery is difficult, as exercise can temporarily impair balance metrics.
  • Distinguishing between fatigue and neurological impairment post-injury is crucial for accurate rehabilitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate neural differences between individuals with concussion and healthy fatigued individuals.
  • To explore the utility of electroencephalography (EEG) spectral power in differentiating these groups.
  • To identify potential biomarkers for concussion recovery assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-two healthy controls underwent a fatiguing backpacking protocol.
  • Seventeen individuals with concussion performed balance challenges, including virtual reality optical flow perturbation.
  • EEG was used to measure spectral power in the motor cortex and central sulcus.

Main Results:

  • Concussed participants exhibited reduced spectral power in the motor cortex and central sulcus compared to fatigued controls.
  • Concussed individuals showed a decrease in overall theta band spectral power.
  • Fatigued controls demonstrated an increase in theta band spectral power.

Conclusions:

  • Distinct neural signatures, particularly in theta band activity, differentiate concussed individuals from fatigued healthy controls.
  • These findings suggest EEG spectral power analysis may serve as a valuable tool for assessing TBI recovery.
  • This neural signature could aid in distinguishing between concussion-related impairment and exercise-induced fatigue.
