Reaction Time Under Limited Vision With Cognitive Challenge In Individuals With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Hsuan Bonny Lu Aug 2023

Reaction Time Under Limited Vision With Cognitive Challenge In Individuals With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Hsuan Bonny Lu

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common sports injury. ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is a necessary treatment for individuals to return to competitive sports. However, a high rate of secondary injury occurs when individuals return to sport. Past research has shown that ACLR impairs physical performance, including reduction of force generate against the floor under the injured leg, changes in the gait pattern, and a loss of knee stability. While structural changes following ACL injury can leave the knee joint less stable, neurophysiological changes following ACL injury represent one potentially important mechanism underlying the performance deficits. Healthy individuals rely …


The Effects Of Repeated Sub-Concussive Impacts On Reaction Time Across A Football Season, Theodore Mostellar Jan 2023

The Effects Of Repeated Sub-Concussive Impacts On Reaction Time Across A Football Season, Theodore Mostellar

West Chester University Master’s Theses

Context: Recent evidence suggests an accumulation of head impact exposures may influence neurocognitive functioning over time. Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between sub concussive impacts and reaction time in collegiate football players across a football season. Design: Observational cohort study. Setting: Data was collected at a NCAA Division III college throughout the 2022 competitive football season. Participants: 25 players volunteered for the study. Main Outcome Measures: HIE (99%,95%,
