A Sports Injury Prevention Program to Reduce Subsequent Injuries After Concussion

NCT03917290 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Summary

The long-term goal of this research is to implement methods that healthcare providers can use across diverse clinical settings to (1) identify athletes at risk for (musculoskeletal) MSK injury when cleared to return to play (RTP) after a concussion and (2) develop practical ways to reduce MSK injury risk following concussion RTP. The rationale is that once post-concussion MSK injury risk factors are known and prevention strategies tested, concussion RTP protocols will evolve to include injury risk reduction programs.

Conditions

  • Brain Concussion
  • Musculoskeletal Injury
  • Locomotion
  • Postural Balance

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Neuromuscular training

Training will be conducted with a research assistant under the supervision of Dr. Howell (PI), a certified athletic trainer, who will meet with participants either at the individual or small group level (3-4 participants maximum). Training will be done within the Children's Hospital Colorado network-of-care locations, dependent on the location of participants. Due to in-person restrictions that have resulted from COVID-19, participants may also complete the intervention via remote (virtual) training sessions.
