Article Synopsis
- A recent study investigates how concussions affect neuromuscular function, specifically looking at lower extremity stiffness during a jump-landing task in athletes.
- The research compared 13 athletes with concussions (CONC) to 26 uninjured athletes (UNINJ) by measuring stiffness in the hip, knee, ankle, and overall leg during a specific exercise.
- Results showed that athletes with concussions had increased hip stiffness but decreased knee and leg stiffness, suggesting that these changes may elevate their risk for lower extremity injuries.
