Although concussion management and return to play/learn decision making focuses on reducing symptoms, there is growing interest in objective physiological approaches to treatment. Clinical and technological advancements have aided concussion management; however, the scientific study of the neurophysiology of concussion has not translated into its standard of care. This expert commentary is motivated by novel clinical applications of electroencephalographic-based neurofeedback approaches (eg, quantitative electroencephalography [QEEG]) for treating traumatic brain injury and emerging research interest in its translation for treating concussion.

Background: Researchers have highlighted the importance of early access to concussion care within one week of injury in reducing recovery times. However, a persisting question for concussion researchers is "just how early is important?" The purpose of this study was to examine differences in recovery time as predicted by the number of days elapsed since injury (DSI) to initial evaluation among patients who had access to a specialty concussion clinic within seven days. We hypothesized that DSI group membership, even within seven days, would significantly predict risk of protracted recovery (i.

Purpose: To characterize the outcomes and range of motion at a minimum 5-year follow-up in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) with simultaneous manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) and capsular release (CR) for concurrent RC and adhesive capsulitis and to compare active range of motion of the operative and nonoperative shoulder.

Methods: Patients undergoing ARCR with MUA and CR by a single surgeon were retrospectively reviewed and prospectively evaluated at a minimum of 5 years postoperatively. Standardized surveys, examinations, and patient-reported outcomes were recorded pre- and postoperatively.
