¨ Mild traumatic brain injury ¨ Symptoms
¡ Headache ¡ Confusion ¡ Dizziness ¡ Nausea ¡ Emotional irritability ¡ Balance deficits
¨ Very common in
contact sports1
¡ Football ú Highest number of
concussions
ú Highest number of
participants at all levels
¨ National Collegiate Association for Athletics
(NCAA) requires baseline assessment for athletes who participate in sports at risk for concussion2,3,4,5
¡ Symptom checklist ¡ Standardized cognitive
assessment
¡ Balance assessment
¨ Balance assessment
¡ Balance Error Scoring System
(BESS)
¡ Force plate technology ¡ Nintendo Wii ¡ Sensory Organization Testing
¨ Methods
¡ Baseline balance testing ¡ Two 30-second trials
ú Eyes open ú Eyes closed
¡ Measurements
ú Center of Pressure (COP) ú Total travel time (COPTT) ú Anterior-posterior travel (COPTTY) ú Lateral travel (COPTTX)
¨ Division I college football players at VT evaluated using
IsoBALANCE 2.0 Force Plate prior to start of contact drills
¨ Conclusions
1) Postural control was influenced by the variables of
height, weight, and position of play
2) Heel to toe travel was significant for weight and position;
therefore anterior-posterior travel could be used in the evaluation of balance
3) ONL players have better postural control that OL players
¨ Evaluate history of concussion compared to balance ¨ Larger sample size than 2009 study
¡ Football, swimming/diving, soccer, wrestling
¨ Conclusions
1) Height/weight statistically significant between football
positions of play
2) COPTTY appropriate criterion for assessment of balance 3) Soccer had best postural control 4) Statistical significance COPTTY in eyes closed
experiments in history of concussion vs no history of concussion
¨ Comparison of balance among Division I college
football players from VT over 2009-2011 seasons using IsoBALANCE 2.0 force plate technology
¡ History of concussion ¡ New concussion ¡ No history of concussion
