The MPCETT: Assessing the Safety and Utility of Exercise Tolerance Testing in Children With Concussion Ages 6 to 12.

Objective: Treadmill test protocols for concussion assessment have been validated for patients aged 13 years and older; however, no evidence-based guidelines exist for younger children. We designed and assessed the safety and utility of the Morahan Pediatric Concussion Exercise Tolerance Test (MPCETT) for assessing exercise tolerance in symptomatic children (SC) and recovered, asymptomatic children (AC) from 6 to 12 years of age.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Post-COVID-19 Cardiovascular Evaluation in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Athletes.

Objective: To evaluate the necessity of cardiac testing after a COVID-19 diagnosis as it relates to myocarditis in collegiate athletes.

Design: Cross-sectional retrospective case series.

Setting: National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I University.

Correlating the King-Devick Test With Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening in Adolescent Patients With Concussion: A Pilot Study.

Background: The King-Devick (K-D) test is a rapid number-naming task that has been well validated as a sensitive sideline performance measure for concussion detection. Patients with concussion take significantly longer to complete the K-D test than healthy controls. Previous research suggests that ocular motor deficits, specifically saccadic abnormalities, may be an underlying factor for the prolonged time.
