The Effect of an Exertion Protocol on Cognitive and Functional Performance in Adolescents After Concussion
Key Points
Investigate how post-exertion testing influences cognitive and functional recovery after concussion in adolescents.
Conducted a post-exertion protocol assessment
Measured cognitive and functional performance metrics
Analyzed recovery patterns in adolescents after concussion
Post-exertion testing revealed improved insight into recovery levels
Cognitive performance scores increased following exertion
Functional performance metrics showed similar enhancements
Abstract
Post-exertion testing may provide additional information in the determination of concussion recovery and return-to-play beyond what is measured clinically.
