Presence of headache does not influence sideline neurostatus or balance in high school football athletes.

Objective: Headache is the primary self-reported symptom used to indicate concussion. Thus, we examined the relationship between reports of nonconcussion-induced headache after contact sport participation and scores on common concussion assessment measures.

Design: Two-group repeated measures.

The chronic effects of concussion on gait.

Objective: To examine the effects of concussion on gait patterns of young adults with and without a history of concussion during single- and dual-task paradigms.

Design: Cross-sectional evaluation.

Setting: A research laboratory.

Balance performance in male and female collegiate basketball athletes: influence of testing surface.

The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is a simple and cost-effective balance test. Information on SEBT performance in athletic populations and under varying testing surfaces is needed to fully elucidate the clinical and training utility of this task. The purpose of this study was to examine SEBT performance in division I, collegiate basketball athletes (men = 9, women = 7) and in a healthy nonathlete control group (men = 7, women = 9).
