Filter by:A two-year parallel randomized clinical trial study to examine the effect of screen time (ST) restriction, exercise alone, and combined ST-restricted-exercise when compared to stretching only (control group) on sports related concussion recovery time among adolescents aged 12 to 17 years. Study hypothesis 1 - There will be significant differences between the treatment and the control arms' mean recovery time (days). Study hypothesis 2 - The ST-restricted & exercise treatment arm will have a significantly shorter mean recovery time (days) compared with the other treatment arms and control arm.
Sport-related concussion is a common and serious injury that can affect athletes of all ages in any sport. The purpose of this project is to study the effect of a 12-week manual resistance neck strengthening exercise program on participants' neck size and strength and how their heads and necks move during simulated sport-associated tasks. This study will help determine if greater neck strength may lower an athlete's risk of sport-related concussion. Each healthy male and female soccer athlete between the ages of 13-19 enrolled in the study will participate for approximately four months. Study participation includes routine visits with various assessments (i.e. certain body measurements, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound) in addition to the strengthening exercise program.
Determine the safety and efficacy of sub-maximal aerobic exercise during the subacute phase of recovery following sport-related concussion.
Evaluation of a neck strengthening program as a potential intervention to reduce the risk of sport-related concussion in youth contact and collision sport athletes.
The purpose of this randomized control trial study is to determine if an active rehabilitation (low intensity exercise program) in combination with a comprehensive education intervention (standard care) is more effective than the comprehensive education intervention alone in reducing post-concussion symptoms and improving participation in daily activities in youth who have persistent post-concussion symptoms.
To test the safety and feasibility of a new treatment for adolescents who are slow to recover from a sport-related concussion, the investigators are conducting a randomised controlled trial comparing treatment as usual with an active rehabilitation program that involves sub-symptom threshold cardiac exertion, sport-specific coordination activities, and positive visualisation techniques.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a combined physiotherapy treatment (including vestibular rehabilitation and treatment for the cervical spine) in youth and young adults with ongoing symptoms of dizziness, neck pain and headaches following a sport-related concussion.
