▼ Context: The definition of the “core” within the literature is misconstrued: some researchers believe the core only involves muscles of the trunk while others believe it also includes muscles of the hip. Core strength tests typically include exercises that activate hip flexors and extensors without a firm definition of the “core” including the muscles of the hip. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to differentiate between the strength of the trunk and hip during flexion and extension. Methods: Participants included 28 Division I collegiate athletes from a single university (12 males, 16 females, height (in.) = 69.14 ± 4.81, weight (lb.) = 171.57 ± 45.54, age = 20.82 ± 1.31). Trunk and hip joint strength was tested on the Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer using the hip and the back attachments. Measurements were taken of peak torque isometrically and both peak and average torque isokinetically at contraction speeds 60 deg/s, 120 deg/s, and 180 deg/s. The independent variables are joint, contraction speed, and flexion/extension. The dependent variables are peak and average torque. Results: One-factor ANOVAs with repeated measures were ran to compare between peak and average torques for both joints at the different contraction speeds. A Tukey’s post hoc analysis was ran in order to control the amount of error within the data. There was a significant interaction between joint and speed for peak isokinetic hip flexion torque (F_(1,28)=22.75, p< 0.05), average isokinetic hip flexion torque (F_(1,28)=13.93, p< 0.05), peak isokinetic hip extension torque (F_(1,28)=32.72, p< 0.05), and average isokinetic hip extension torque (F_(1,28)=37.90, p< 0.05). For the isometric tests, there was significance between joints for both flexion (F_(1,28)=86.15, p< 0.05) and extension (F_(1,28)=66.58, p< 0.05). For all post hoc comparisons of isokinetic tests, trunk strength was significantly different between the different test speeds. For post hoc comparisons of peak and average isokinetic extension torque, hip strength was significantly different from trunk strength at 60 and 120 deg/s. For post hoc comparisons of peak and average isokinetic flexion torque, hip strength was significantly different when compared to the trunk at all testing speeds. Hip strength was significantly different when compared to trunk strength at all testing speeds during peak and average flexion torque. When looking at the post hoc comparison for peak isometric flexion and extension torque in, trunk strength is significantly different when compared to hip strength Conclusion: Because the trunk and hip joints are different from each other when comparing movement of the two joints at different contraction speeds, researchers must be careful when defining and testing the “core”.

▼ Context: As a member of the sports medicine team, athletic trainers serve athletes through injury prevention, evaluation, and rehabilitation. While it is imperative for members of the sports medicine team to have knowledge of scope of practice of athletic trainers, it may also be important for athletes as well, so that the athletic trainers can be properly utilized by all parties. Although previous research has been completed on how athletes’ sport profile and satisfaction of care relate, no previous studies were identified that assessed athletes’ knowledge of athletic trainers’ scope of practice. Objective: Determine student-athletes’ knowledge of athletic trainers’ scope of practice. Design: Prospective sequential explanatory mixed methods design. Setting: Online survey delivered through university email system; paper-pencil survey distributed at pre-participation examinations (PPE). Participants: Convenience sample of 108 NCAA Division I student-athletes. Forty four total participants. Response rate: 41%. Groups were formed based on whether or not student-athletes had previous experience with an athletic trainer as well as sport profile. Interventions: Survey consisted of demographic information and knowledge sections. Independent variables: previous experience with an athletic trainer, sport profile. Main Outcome Measure: Demographic data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Knowledge questions were scored based on correct responses and a total knowledge score was calculated. Independent t-tests were completed to compare knowledge scores between athletes with or without previous experience with athletic trainer and between high- and low-profile sport groups. Results: Approximately 91% of participants were 18 years old. 64% of participants had previous experience with an athletic trainer, while 36% had no previous experience. Independent T-tests revealed no significant differences in knowledge scores with regard to previous experience with an athletic trainer or sport profile. Conclusion: This study provides evidence that previous experience with an athletic trainer and sport profile do not have an effect on the athlete’s knowledge of athletic trainers’ scope of practice. Results indicated that athletes have a moderate level of knowledge in all domains, which established that athletes’ have a consistent knowledge level with physicians, administrators, and coaches. Future studies could be done to assess knowledge levels across all NCAA Divisions. Advisors/Committee Members: Tamerah Hunt, Barry Munkasy.

▼ Introduction: Baseline evaluations provide vital information for clinicians, as they are a representation of an athlete’s healthy clinical state. It has been recommended when an athlete sustain a concussion, they be administered a re-baseline evaluation, as the effects of a single concussion are not well documented. Limited literature was found which examines re-baseline examinations following a concussion. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate cognitive and postural deficits, in athletes who sustained a concussion, at the conclusion of the athletic season. Methods: 38 concussed athletes (CONC) were matched on sport and gender with 38 healthy controls (NORM). All athletes were administered a baseline and re-baseline assessment including the Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) and the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS). Within the CONC group, 9 athletes were identified and matched on the same criteria to be evaluated using center of pressure (CoP) metrics. CoP metrics included Sample Entropy and Peak Excursion Velocity in Mediolateral (M/L) and Anteroposterior (A/P) directions, and a 95% Confidence Ellipse (95% CE) during eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC) static stances. Twelve repeated measure ANOVAs were used to evaluate differences between evaluations, with statistical significance set 0.05 a priori. Results: Repeated measure ANOVAs revealed the SAC was statistically significant over time (p = .004) but not between groups. There was no significance observed with the BESS for time (p = 0.339) or group (p = 0.164). Sample Entropy in the A/P direction, during EO static stance did reveal a statically significance between group x time interaction at re-baseline (p = .023) Discussion: The results of this study indicate re-baseline evaluations should include the SAC to assess changes in cognition. The BESS may not be an applicable assessment for re-baseline evaluations as athletes returned to baseline values – with no obvious practice effect. CoP metrics allow for a more sensitive assessment for postural imbalances, however only SampEn may be beneficially during re-baseline evaluations. Future research should examine the use of re-baseline on a yearly basis, which may show changes in cognition and posture. Advisors/Committee Members: Jessica Mutchler, Barry Munkasy.

▼ Ankle sprains, specifically to the lateral ligament complex, are one of the most common injuries seen during athletic participation and may lead to chronic ankle instability (CAI).¹Residual symptoms of CAI can include feelings of giving way and instability as well as, persistent weakness, pain during activity, and self-reported disability, which may affect postural control and functional performance.² The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a relationship between perceived kinesiophobia and dorsiflexion range of motion (DROM), measures of dynamic postural control, and measures of functional performance, within active individuals with CAI. Thirty-seven physically active individuals with self-reported CAI, filled out the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia 11 (TSK-11), and the NASA Physical Activity Scale (NASA-PAS). Of those, five qualified as having CAI based on the 5^th International Ankle Consortium guidelines for CAI classification¹ and completed one test session lasting approximately 45 minutes that included basic demographic data, leg length measurements, DROM, three directions of the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), triple crossover hop test, and figure 8 hop test.Means and standard deviations were calculated and reported for all measures. Due to small sample size, only observational analysis could be performed between perceived kinesiophobia and dorsiflexion range of motion (DROM), measures of dynamic postural control, and measures of functional performance. Although only five participants classified as CAI, 36 of 37 participants reported some degree of kinesiophobia. Therefore we chose to examine the inclusionary questionnaires, and how they relate to our measure of kinesiophobia (TSK-11) and the number of reported ankle sprains. Pearson product-moment correlations were used to determine these relationships. Based on observational analysis there may be trends between kinesiophobia and DROM, and figure-8 hop test time. A strong positive relationship between the FAAM activities of daily living (FAAM-ADL) and FAAM-Sport subscales (r = 0.815, p ˂ 0.001), a moderate negative relationship between the FAAM-ADL subscale and TSK-11 scores (r = -0.509, p=0.001), and a moderate negative relationship between the FAAM-Sport subscale and TSK-11 scores (r= -0.599, p ˂ 0.001) were shown. There was also a moderate negative relationship between number of sprains and both the FAAM-ADL (r= -0.436, p= 0.007) and FAAM-Sport (r= -0.464, p=0.004) subscales. The current study showed potential trends between kinesiophobia and DROM, as well as functional performance specific to agility. Measures of functional performance and DROM in the current study when wearing ankle braces did not appear similar to previously published data. The TSK-11 was only moderately correlated to the FAAM. Therefore, perceived kinesiophobia may be independent of self-reported disability, and should be accounted for within… Advisors/Committee Members: Barry Munkasy, Tamerah Hunt.

▼ Context: Commonly used single task (ST) concussion assessments are unable to identify lingering impairments following a concussion. Current dual task (DT) assessments use cost prohibitive technological assessments not available to most clinicians, creating the need for a clinically applicable dual task assessment to identify impairments. Objective: To determine if a DT assessment consisting of the Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) and with the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) is able to identify impairments. Design: Prospective longitudinal. Setting: Research laboratory. Participants: Concussed student-athletes and matched health controls, 18 females, 10 males. Concussed group: age 19.00±0.88, height 174.53±12.06 cm, and mass 75.28±22.02 kg. Healthy group: age 19.36±1.34, height 171.45±11.69 cm, mass 73.34±22.7 kg. Participants were matched based upon gender, mass, and sport. Interventions: The DT assessment was administered on the day of recovery (REC), on the day of return to play (RTP), and 30 days post-concussion (D30). Main Outcome Measures: Scores of SAC and BESS as a dual task. Results: No significant interaction or main effect was found between session and group for BESS. No significant interaction between session and status was found for SAC. There was a significant main effect found for session for SAC. Simple contrasts revealed significant differences between recovery REC and D30, and between RTP and D30. The SAC D30 scores were significantly higher (better) than recovery and return to play day, regardless of group. No significant differences were found between concussed and healthy for SAC at REC, RTP, and D30. Conclusions: There were no differences between recently concussed and healthy participants when performing the BESS and SAC as a DT challenge. Interestingly, an improvement in cognitive performance was identified whereby all participants improved SAC performance with repeat administration. Conversely, no improvements were noted with repeat performance suggesting a posture first strategy was not being employed. Future research should utilize tasks that challenge both the cognitive and postural domains, but is also plausible and feasible for clinicians to utilize.

▼ Context: The Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) is a commonly utilized and recommended sideline assessment tool to evaluate post-concussion postural stability. Baseline BESS scores are typically recorded during preseason physical examinations in the athletic training room or nearby laboratory. However, post-concussion assessment typically takes place on the sideline during a sporting event. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a sideline environment on BESS performance. Setting: 37 NCAA Division 1 healthy, female student athletes (SA) and 32 healthy, female non-athlete healthy young adult (HYA) controls were assessed on BESS performance in three different environments: a controlled laboratory or baseline (BL), a basketball arena (BKB) and a football field (FB). The SA group performed the experimental trials during a live competition while the HYA group was tested with minimal distractions. Interventions: The BESS was administered using an Airex Pad and videotaped from the frontal and sagittal planes. Main Outcome Measures: Two 2 x 3 ANOVAs with repeated measures, one 2 x 6 ANOVA with repeated measures, and a frequency distribution were used to analyze the results. Results: A significant main effect was found for the two groups (p = .001) with the SA group scoring higher than the HYA group. Significance within the SA group was found between BL and FB (p = .047) environments and FB and BKB (p = .005) environments. Significance within the HYA group was noted between BL and BKB trials (p = .025). Significance was found between groups for the single leg firm (p = .032), single leg foam (p < .001), and tandem foam stances ( p < .001) with the SA group scoring significantly higher. Conclusions: A previous study reported no differences in total BESS score between a controlled environment and a baseball dugout, however our results suggest that a more distracting environment may impair BESS performance in female intercollegiate athletes. While this study is limited by testing athletes outside of their sport environment, the results of this study suggest that clinicians should consider the ambient environment when performing BESS during a postconcussion assessment.

▼ Current post-concussion assessment tools may lack sensitivity in identifying recovery. Athletes demonstrating decreased postural control may have an increased likelihood of suffering sports-related injury. Exercise has been shown to briefly alter static postural control and the visual contribution to static postural stability deteriorates with moderate intensity exercise. Gait variability, defined as the fluctuation in gait characteristic between steps, is a sensitive measure of postural stability in populations with higher level gait disorders. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of a progressive exertional return-to-play program on dynamic postural stability following a concussion. Design: Prospective longitudinal. Setting: Biomechanics laboratory. Participants: Nine participants (Height: 173.6±9.3, Weight: 85.7±24.7, Age: 19.4±1.3) who suffered sports-related concussions during intercollegiate athletic participation and nine physically active control participants (Height: 161.7±12.98, Weight: 77.3±19.98, Age: 22.8±1.99). Interventions: Both groups performed 10 trials of self-selected paced normal and fast gait along a 7.9m instrumented walkway. The concussion participants baseline testing was performed during pre-participation physicals prior to intercollegiate athletic participation. The second session was within 24 hours of suffering a concussion, the third session was the day before the exercise protocol began, and the remaining sessions were after the participant completed day one (stationary bike) and day two (elliptical) of the exercise protocol. Main Outcome Measures: Dependent variables of interest included step length variability, step width variability and step time variability. These values were expressed using a coefficient of variation [(standard deviation/mean)*100]. Dependent variables were compared with six 2x5 (group x day) repeated measures ANOVAs with a 0.01 adjusted alpha. Results: For normal speed, there was no group by time interaction (p=.526, p=.562, p=.271) or main effects for time (p=.925, p=.669, p=.808) for step length, step time, or step width variability across the testing days. A significant difference was found between the groups (p=.007) for normal speed step length variability (Concussion 3.26±0.93, Controls 2.48±0.37), but not for step time or step width (p=.027, p=.071). For fast speed, there was no group by time interaction (p=.518, p=.866, p=.780) or main effects for time (p=.087, p=.884, p=.033) for step length, step time, or step width variability across the testing days. No significant differences were found between the two groups (p=.384, p=.072, p=.597) for fast speed variability measures. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that athletes suffering from sports-related concussion do not display altered gait variability compared to healthy controls, potentially indicating that otherwise healthy postconcussion student athletes have sufficient compensatory mechanisms and/or strategies to reduce gait variability upon initiating… Advisors/Committee Members: Barry Munkasy, Barry Joyner, Barry Joyner.

▼ Sport related concussions affect nearly 1.6 to 3.8 million athletes annually in the United States. A large number of these athletes suffer from postural instability following concussion. Postural control assessment has become a recommended tool to determine readiness to return to play. Measurement of postural control through the use of center of pressure (CoP) variables may provide a sensitive evaluation following concussion and throughout recovery. Purpose: To evaluate a unipedal and bipedal quiet stance protocol consisting of linear and nonlinear CoP measurements with varying durations in a concussed population throughout recovery. Methods: Thirteen NCAA Division I Collegiate Football players (age: 20.1 ± 1.6 years, height: 178.3 ± 4.8 cm, mass: 94 ± 10.4 kg) were tested. Participants completed a quiet stance protocol for the first 8 days following injury and at return to play (RTP) under unipedal right and left leg conditions, 3 trials each for 20 s and a bipedal condition (feet together, first 20 s and full 120 s). Three trials of the unipedal stance were conducted and the mean was statistically evaluated. Linear CoP measurements evaluated were Ninety-five percent area (95area) and average velocity (Vavg); nonlinear measurements were approximate (ApEn) and sample (SampEn) entropy. ApEn and SampEn were evaluated in the anterio-posterior (AP) and medio-lateral (ML) directions. These were analyzed using a two way (base of support (BOS) x day) MANOVA as well as a Tukey post hoc analysis. Results: There was a significant main effect for BOS condition, however no main effect for day. No difference was observed between right and left unipedal stances. The 120 s trial and 20 s trial for the bipedal stance was significantly different for 95area, ApEn AP, SampEn AP, and SampEn ML. Discussion: It may be necessary to collect data for up to 120 s to reliably quantify the effects of concussion on the postural control system. In this population, both ApEn and SampEn appear to be dependent on the recording length as well as discriminate different BOS conditions.

▼ Context: Participants with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have shown cognitive impairments that affect coordination, anticipation and planning. In the ADHD population, stimulant medication has shown to have beneficial outcomes for 75% of the people. Unfortunately, in most research, patients with ADHD are excluded and little is known about this population. Purpose: Determine the effects of stimulant medication in recreationally active ADHD participants on reaction time. Design: Cross-section between groups design Methods: Participants were divided into two groups (ADHD and controls). Upon arrival to the Biomechanics Lab participants performed two tests, Mode A and Mode D on the Dynavision D2 (Dynavision International LLC, 2016). Mode A consisted of three practice trials, followed by five test trials. Mode D consisted of one practice trial, followed by seven test trials for each of the three tasks. After completion of all tests, participants completed an effort debriefing. ADHD participants performed one session “on medication” and one session “off medication.” The controls performed both trials at the same interval with no use of medication. Group differences were calculated using a mixed model repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) using SPSS 23.0 software (SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL). Additionally, paired-sample t-tests were calculated to examine ADHD participants “on” verses “off” medication and differences in reaction time variability (RTV). Results: 34 participants (n=21 controls, n=13 ADHD) completed all testing. A statistically significant difference existed between groups for Mode A (F_(1,32)=13.12, p=0.01, Λ=0.71, η=0.29, Cohens D= 0.94), Mode D-Direct (MDD) (F_(1,32)=5.61, p=0.015, Λ=0.85, η=0.15, Cohens D= 0.632), Mode D-Circle (MDC) (F_(1,32)=3.41, p=0.011, Λ=0.90, η=0.10, Cohens D= 0.433) and Mode D-Horizontal (MDH) (F_(1,32)=2.30, p=0.05, Λ=0.93, η=0.07, Cohens D= 0.31), with controls demonstrating faster reaction times. A statistically significant difference was found for medication use during MDC (t(12)=2.35, p=0.04), with ADHD participants demonstrating slower reaction times when off their medication. There was a statistically significant difference for RTV for MDD (t(12)=2.199, p=0.05) on and off their medication. Conclusion: The use of stimulant medication does not appear to consistently effect reaction time performance. In a recreationally active population, participants with a self-reported diagnosis of ADHD perform slower than controls on reaction time tests. These slower performances could be due to task complexity (inter stimulus intervals), movement patterns of ADHD participants, as well as type of ADHD. Future research should investigate ADHD in Division I college athletes in regards to reaction time (RT) and reaction time variability (RTV) and the effect of ADHD on athletic performance.

▼ INTRODUCTION: Recently neurocognitive dysfunction has been linked to poor postural control in concussed athletes. While the detrimental effect of repetitive head impacts on cognitive function have been shown to mirror the effects of concussive injury, very little research has investigated the physical consequences of repetitive head impacts. PURPOSE: To observe the effects of RHI on postural control, both static and dynamic, in NCAA Division I athletes over the course of a single season. METHODS: 9 NCAA Division I football athletes (CON) were recruited from a single university as the experimental group, as well as 9 NCAA Division I baseball players (NON) from the same university to serve as non-contact control group. Subjects’ postural control, measured via a force platform, was tested before and after their fall competitive season using a static postural control assessment and dynamic postural control assessment. The static postural control assessment consisted of eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC) quiet standing, while the dynamic postural control assessment consisted of the Wii Fit Soccer Heading Game (WiiSoccer), a sport relevant goal-oriented task. Center of pressure data was used to observed peak excursion velocity (PEV) in the medial-lateral (ML) and anterior-posterior (AP) direction, 95% confidence ellipse (CE), and sample entropy (SampEn) in the ML and AP direction. Repetitive head impacts were quantified in the CON group using the Head Impact Telemetry (HIT) System, which is a six-single axis accelerometer helmet unit that was used to record peak linear accelerations. The HIT System was used to quantify the cumulative impact burden (CIB) and average impact magnitude (AIM) among the CON group. RESULTS: Subjects in the CON group experienced a CIB of 1,234.2 g ± 1,0098 g and AIM of 30.7 g ± 6.8 g over the course of 52 practice sessions and 19 game/scrimmage sessions. Repeated measures ANOVA’s revealed a significant difference (p=0.003) in EO SampEn ML between pre (CON: 0.544, NON: 0.548) and post-season testing (CON: 0.433, NON: 0.515). There was also a significant difference (p< 0.001) between pre (CON: 0.657, NON: 0.565) and post-season (CON: 0.548, NON: 0.549). Finally, there was a significant effect (p=0.003) of time by groups in SampEn AP; the CON group had a significantly greater decline between pre (0.657) and post-season (0.548) compared to NON group (0.565 vs. 0.544 respectively). No significant difference was found in the EC or WiiSoccer condition. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that athletic participation does influence static postural control. Nonlinear force plate variables may be the only metrics capable to detecting subtle changes that occur throughout the season. Finally, these results suggest that there was a significant difference between CON and NON during EO condition. This may indicate a deficiency in appropriate integration of visual information, and inability of effective communication between postural control systems during simple tasks in the CON group due to increased exposure… Advisors/Committee Members: Tamerah Hunt, Barry Munkasy.

▼ Context: 1.6 to 3.8 million sports-related concussions occur annually. Athletes who have suffered a concussion but are symptom free and have returned to baseline on conventional tests may not necessarily be recovered from the effects of the concussion. The premature return to play of an unrecovered athlete may increase the risk of a subsequent concussion. Measurement of upper-limb visual motor coordination has identified lingering deficits following concussion and so it may provide clinicians with a more sensitive means of tracking recovery. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if a visual motor coordination test would identify lingering deficits in a concussed population of collegiate student-athletes who have returned to baseline on conventional assessments when compared to healthy controls. Design: Prospective cross-sectional. Setting: The biomechanics laboratory of a large southeastern university. Participants: 13 recently concussed intercollegiate student-athletes, and 13 matched, healthy, control participants. Intervention(s): Each group completed two testing sessions on a visual motor exam. Main Outcome Measure(s): Average score, visual quadrant reaction time, simple visual reaction time and movement time. Results: There was no group interaction in A* score, quadrant response time, SVRT reaction time and SVRT movement time. There was a significant improvement in A* score, quadrant response time, SVRT reaction time and SVRT movement time in both groups between the two sessions. Conclusions: There appears to be no deficit in the visual motor coordination of recently concussed student-athletes after they have recovered according to the standard assessments. The visual motor coordination exam may not provide a useful means of tracking recovery following concussion, due to a substantial practice effect. Key Words: Concussion, visual motor, coordination, Dynavision, deficits, reaction time. Advisors/Committee Members: Horace Deal, Jody Langdon, Barry Munkasy.

▼ Context: Athletic participation accounts for 1.6-3.8 million concussions, or mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) every year in the United States. Accurate assessment and diagnosis of concussions is critical to protect athletes from further injury. The Fourth International Conference on Concussion in Sport Consensus Statement recommends a multifaceted concussion assessment which includes symptom inventories, postural stability assessment, and neurocognitive testing. The accuracy of each test is vital in correctly diagnosing concussions. The Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC), and Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) are among the most commonly used assessment tools by NCAA athletic trainers. Objectives: (1) evaluate the false positive rate of a clinical concussion assessment battery (BESS, SAC, ImPACT) in a healthy Division I collegiate athlete population and (2) identify trends in pass/fail rates based on months elapsed from baseline testing. Design: Prospective longitudinal study. Setting: A large university in southeast Georgia. Participants: Fifty Division I collegiate athletes were recruited as participants. Forty-eight participants fulfilled the study requirements. Main Outcome Measure(s): Descriptive statistics were run for all demographic variables, along with scores on the various dependent variables. Failure rates for each test were then determined. Any increase in BESS score, decrease in SAC score, or change in an ImPACT composite score exceeding the reliable change index was classified as a false positive for the concussion battery. A one-way repeated measures ANOVA was run to determine changes in scores by testing time (baseline vs. current) and time elapsed from baseline. Tukey post-hoc testing and planned simple contrasts were evaluated as needed. Results: The concussion battery produced an 81% false positive rate. BESS produced the most false positives (62.5%), followed by ImPACT (33.3%), and SAC (27.1%). No significant interactions were found between the time from baseline testing and differences in scores from baseline to current testing. There was a significant main effect across time between BESS baseline scores and testing scores. Conclusions: Eighty-one percent of participants demonstrated a deficit from their baseline scores on one or more of the assessments, thus failing the concussion battery and giving objective evidence of a possible concussion. When a patient fails an objective assessment used to identify and diagnose a concussion, they are at risk of being removed from all participation. To return to participation, the current recommendation is a symptom free graduated return to play protocol taking about seven days to complete. This may result in significant playing time lost for the athlete. Advisors/Committee Members: Thomas Buckley, Barry Munkasy, Vicky Graham.

▼ Context: Alterations in scapular kinematics, specifically upward rotation, are associated with a variety of chronic shoulder conditions. Fatigue may exacerbate the mechanisms potentially resulting in microtrauma and impingement syndrome. Objective: To identify acute alterations of scapular upward rotation following a functional fatigue protocol. Design: Prospective longitudinal. Setting: Biomechanics research laboratory. Patients or Other Participants: Twenty healthy, male competitive tennis players with no history of shoulder injury participated in this study: 10 experimental subjects(19.4 ± 1.07 yrs., 180.09 + 8.92 cm 72 + 11.56 kg) and 10 control subjects (19.6 ± 1.17 yrs., 181.1 + 6.56 cm 81.56 + 13.51 kg). Interventions: Scapular upward rotation was measured three times per session on the dominant arm while at rest, 60˚, 90˚ and 120˚ of humeral elevation in the scapular plane. Participants in the experimental group performed a tennis serving protocol and maintained at least 90% maximal exertion of the tennis serve. Fatigue was defined as reaching a rating of 15 using Borg’s rate of perceived exertion scale as well as 70% HR max. Upward rotation measurements were taken before and immediately following the fatigue protocol, and 24, 48, and 72 hours post exercise. Control participants were tested at the same time intervals without the fatiguing protocol. Main Outcome Measures: Four 2 x 5 (group x session) repeated measures ANOVA’s were performed followed by simple contrasts as appropriate. Results: Significant group by time interaction for scapular upward rotation was found at all testing positions (rest, 60˚, 90˚ and 120˚). Contrasts revealed differences between the experimental group’s pre fatigue and post fatigue values at all testing positions (pre fatigue rest: 1.48 + 2.66 post fatigue rest: -.68+ 2.66 p<.001; pre fatigue 60˚: 7.87+ 4.46 post fatigue 60˚: 5.67+ 4.72 p=.010; pre fatigue 90˚: 22.51+ 5.40 post fatigue 90˚: 19.29+ 5.16 p<.001; pre fatigue 120˚: 37.34+ 6.91 post fatigue 120˚: 33.35+ 6.49 p<.001; as well as at 60˚ pre fatigue and day four measurements(pre fatigue 60˚: 7.87+ 4.46 day 4 60˚: 7.67+ 4.55 p=.031) Conclusions: Fatigue appears to affect, specifically impairs, scapular upward rotation in male tennis players but returns to baseline values within twenty-four hours. Further research should identify when it returns to baseline to provide guidance for rest intervals for healthy male tennis players as well as if these changes are similar in a pathologic group of players.

▼ The Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) is a widely utilized concussion assessment tool used to assess postural stability. Baseline testing is used for comparison if an athlete receives a concussion for diagnosis and return to play guidelines. It is unknown if playing a competitive sports season has any effect on the BESS score. Objective: To determine if playing in a competitive sports season has an effect on the BESS score. Design: A three group pre-post test study. Setting: This study was performed in a controlled laboratory setting. Subjects: Fifty-five college females, including twenty-two division one soccer players (age = 19.5 ± 1.6 years, height = 165.3±5.9 cm, weight = 58.8 ± 7.8 kg), fourteen division one volleyball players (age = 19.4 ± 1.2 years, height = 177.4 ± 5.2 cm, weight = 70.1 ± 6.8 kg), and nineteen controls (age = 22.1 ± 1.7 years, height = 163.9 ± 6.5 cm, weight = 62.5 ± 9.0 kg) with no current concussion or injury of the lower extremity that would affect postural stability participated in this study. Interventions: The BESS score, including the overall score and the individual stance scores, was measured for women's soccer, women's volleyball and the control at preseason and postseason. Main Outcome Measures: Two, two-way ANOVAs with repeated measures, one 3-level, two-way ANOVA with repeated measures, two, 7-level MANOVAs, and one 3-level ANOVA were used to analyze our data. Results: Differences were found for all subjects between preseason and postseason with a mean change in total BESS score of 1.04 ± 2.38; P=.005. Differences were also found for all subjects between preseason and postseason with a mean change in the absolute value of the total BESS score of 1.96 ± 1.69; P<.001. Conclusions: There may be a learning effect over a 13 week time period for the BESS. Clinicians should account for this possible learning effect when administering the BESS. This would improve clinicians' diagnoses as well as providing more accurate and confident references for returning an athlete to play post concussion.
