Association Between Brain Blood Flow Regulation, Cognition, and Balance in Sports-Related Concussion
The purpose of this study is to understand how biochemical markers in blood, balance
disturbances, and cognitive performance are related to brain blood flow changes after a
concussion.
disturbances, and cognitive performance are related to brain blood flow changes after a
concussion.
Comparisons will be made between control data and data following a concussion collected from
athletes participating in contact-collision sports. For those suffering a concussion,
comparisons will be made between day 3 (acute phase), day 21 (recovery phase), and 3 months
post-concussion.
