Abstract Details

2011, Master of Arts, Miami University, Speech Pathology and Audiology.
The purpose of this study was to measure athletes’ consistency in self-report of symptoms following concussion. Types of inconsistencies were recorded to determine if any patterns exist that would suggest self-awareness impairment versus denial of deficits. Concussed college athletes (n= 6) were tested using the Immediate Post-concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test (ImPACT) within 48 hours of sustaining a concussion. Responses to 22 symptoms on ImPACT were recorded and compared to athlete report on a survey that addressed the same 22 symptoms. ANOVA revealed a significant increase in proportional agreement between the first and last assessment trials (F (1,4)= 15.30, p= .0174). Trends observed suggest that athletes are not reliable or consistent in their report of symptoms to multiple sources. Future research is needed to develop a more reliable subjective assessment to ensure athletes are cognitively and physically stable before returning to play.
