Walking and Running Biomechanical Dual-Task Cost as Collegiate Athletes Return to Sport Following Concussions Compared to Healthy Controls.

The purpose of this study was to examine walking and running biomechanics with and without the addition of a cognitive task in athletes recently diagnosed with concussions. We sought to determine if deficits remained after athletes were asymptomatic, had returned to baseline in all common clinical t...

      ab: The purpose of this study was to examine walking and running biomechanics with and without the addition of a cognitive task in athletes recently diagnosed with concussions. We sought to determine if deficits remained after athletes were asymptomatic, had returned to baseline in all common clinical tests, and had been cleared for full return to sport participation. Seven collegiate athletes with recent concussions (recently concussed) and seven healthy matched controls (controls) completed testing sessions 1–3 days after unrestricted clearance (S1) and 1-week postclearance (S2). Participants completed four gait conditions: (1) walking alone (single task), (2) walking while completing simple mental tasks (dual task), (3) running single task, and (4) running dual task. Participants completed a total of eight walking trials, followed by a total of eight running trials counterbalanced between single- and dual-task conditions. Runscribe™ wearable shoe sensors (Scribe Labs, Inc.) were utilized to assess walking and running gait biomechanics. No significant interaction was found between group (recently concussed, control) and session (S1, S2) for speed (m/s), stride length (m), or step rate (steps/min) during the four gait conditions (p ≥.34). However, several moderate to large effect sizes were observed for pairwise comparisons (−0.09 ≤ d ≤ 1.72), suggesting clinically meaningful decreased performance in the recently concussed group that would benefit from further study with larger samples.
