Abstract:
Sports-related concussions have been shown to cause visual impairments while there is uncertainty regarding the neural effects of sub-concussive head impacts. Given the complexity of visual-motor sensory integration, it seems possible that if subconcussive impacts result in a neural defect, this deficit could manifest itself as a decrement in visual performance. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between visual-motor performance and head impact biomechanics in Division I College football players. We found that players with poorer pre-season visual-motor performance demonstrated more severe head impact biomechanics. We also found that high severity subconcussive head impacts can have negative effects on visual-motor performance.
