In secondary analyses of @CareConsortium data, our findings suggest that collegiate #soccer players without #concussion do not exhibit changes in observable function and symptoms across multiple seasons. @osuhrs @OhioStateCBI #CISG2022
Hot off the [in] press! This was a great team effort led by the ever brilliant @jaclyn_caccese featuring @shesabrykhouse @tporf @bretzina @peek_kerry and @CareConsortium colleagues journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/A…

Exciting news, our very own @AshwiniSansare from @UDelawarePT received a PODS II award to continue our research on control of balance in Cerebral Palsy. Just after giving a great presentation of first results from that project at #ISPGR2022. Time to celebrate some more!
Exciting news from FPTR -- we just announced our 2022 scholarship funding. Thank you to the donors and supporters who make this possible! foundation4pt.org/fptr-award…

Many #concusson patients are not adequately evaluated for vestibular disorders until long after the injury. There are many possible causes & many patients can be symptomatic due to a combination of underlying disorders. frontiersin.org/article/10.3…

🚨In a new piece, I lay out and explore 3 principles that now define the pandemic. 1) The vaccines are still beating the variants. 2) The variants are pummelling unvaccinated people. 3) The longer 2 continues, the less likely 1 will hold. theatlantic.com/health/archi…

Brilliant study about Multisensory Fusion and concussed college athletes, featuring our Immersive labs. Great work by @jaclyn_caccese, @GameSaude, @johnjeka, @felipejaponei and @atcbuck #tbi #biomechanics #neuroscience #Immersive #VRARA #multisensory #balance
Our latest work in @SpringerNature @SportsMedicineJ young adults with #concussion had higher gains to vestibular and visual stimuli, suggesting over reliance on sensory feedback in destabilizing environments @johnjeka @ConcussionUd @GameSaude link.springer.com/epdf/10.10…
