This should be transferable to detection of TBI and stroke if we had any strategy for stroke or stroke leadership at all. But we don't, so just fuck off and die is the message we are getting from our stroke associations.

Researcher Christian Duval, PhD, and his team have developed a new,
simple and non-invasive approach to create a biomechanical and cognitive
profile of football players and more quickly and accurately detect
concussions in these individuals. Christian Duval and his post-doctoral
student Hung Nguyen, PhD, work at the Research Centre of the Institut
universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal, which is affiliated with the
University of Montreal. They presented their preliminary research
findings at the International Congress on Sport Sciences Research and
Technology Support, which was held in Lisbon from November 15 to 17.
For their study, Christian Duval's team performed a dual-task
assessment using simultaneous biomechanical and cognitive tests to
evaluate the players every week. Thanks to a markerless motion capture
system, this approach let them establish a unique profile for each
person in just seven minutes and detect signs of concussion in a player
before the medical team could. Developing such a fast and effective test
is critical, as repeated impact on the young brain over time leaves
damage similar to that caused by dementia.
“We had the players walk while avoiding obstacles and while executing
cognitive tasks. The combination of these two results established each
individual's personal signature. Our measurements let us quickly detect
concussion symptoms that could go unnoticed by health care professionals
or by the young athletes themselves. The test we developed also
simulates game situations, because in football, players are stimulated
both physically and intellectually,” explained Christian Duval.
In a sport in which many concussions go undetected, this approach
could help health care professionals to not only better detect these
brain injuries but also systematically monitor all players during the
season to detect or monitor those who sustain a concussion to determine
when they are ready to get back out on the field.
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,160 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
