Description of Study: |
The primary goal of this project is to investigate the persistent effect of concussion on gait outcomes and landing biomechanics suggestive of lower extremity musculoskeletal injury risk. We will examine the differences in gait outcomes, the effect of task difficulty during jump-landing tasks, and the clinical utility of a jump-landing screening tool between individuals with and without a concussion in the past year. This study will advance the knowledge of subsequent injury risk following concussion, enhance the evidence-based practices for clinicians in concussion management, and identify areas for interventions in concussion rehabilitation. |
