lüll Neuropsychological factors related to college ice hockey concussions Pedersen HA; Ferraro FR; Himle M; Schultz C; Poolman MAm J Alzheimers Dis Other Demen 2014[May]; 29 (3): 201-4We analyzed data from 74 male collegiate hockey players. Each athlete's season began with a baseline administration of the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) neuropsychology test battery. Fourteen athletes sustained a sport-related head injury and were readministered the test to assess the impact of the injury. A significant decrease in performance (compared to baseline) on immediate and delayed word recall and designs followed the first concussion. Following a second sport-related concussion, the 4 affected athletes showed significant decrease in visual motor speed. Performance improved on 2 response speed measures (Ps < .01). More errors occurred during a visual processing/discrimination task and immediate recall of designs declined (Ps < .05). We discuss the results in light of recent work related to the impact of early-life concussions and head injury on late-life consequences, such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and more immediate issues such as return-to-play decisions for athletes.|*Hockey[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Athletic Injuries/*complications[MESH]|Brain Concussion/*complications[MESH]|Cognition Disorders/*diagnosis/etiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Neuropsychological Tests[MESH]|Psychomotor Performance/*physiology[MESH]|Universities[MESH]|Young Adult[MESH] |
