Research Symposium
Background: Since 2005, there has been an 87% increase in concussions in high school sports. Concussions and concussion-like events are associated with a myriad of pathologies, but recently, clinical research has suggested that such events can lead to hypoparathyroidism and decreased bone mass. Specifically, research has suggested that following a concussion-like event, blood calcium may be reduced and influence bone mass and future healing from bone insults. However, a specific correlation between the loss of available blood calcium and severity of bone fractures in previously concussed individuals has yet to be identified. In this study, we will explore the clinical …

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Background: Concussions are becoming an epidemic as millions of athletes are diagnosed with concussions each year. Concussions are not homogenous injuries and should be managed uniquely. Often health care providers focus on the physical side effects of concussions and ignore the psychological side effects. Methods: In order to determine the prevalence of psychological side effects resulting from concussions and the frequency of ATCs or team physicians managing their psychological symptoms we sent out a survey. The survey included seventeen questions related to demographics and concussion symptoms that were sent to Division II and III athletes in Ohio over the age …

Chiropractic Physicians' Knowledge Of Pediatric Concussions, Rachel A. Lamb, Michael S. Weller
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Recent legislation in the state of Ohio now allows chiropractic physicians who possess certain credentials to both diagnose and clear young patients who have sustained concussions. Unfortunately, little if any existing research examines the knowledge and abilities of chiropractic physicians regarding the management of this condition. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to provide a general overview of chiropractic physicians’ knowledge regarding the diagnosis and management of pediatric concussions. A survey was emailed to 1,344 chiropractors in the state of Ohio. Of those who were contacted, 71 completed the survey. The survey included questions regarding demographics, patient scenarios, and …
