Postural Stability Post Sport Concussion
This review paper examines different ways to test and measure postural stability that can be helpful to sports medicine clinicians, athletic trainers, and coaches as they are making return to play decisions following a sport concussion. Six articles were searched on EBSCO Host. This review concluded that measuring postural stability and neuropsychological post concussion symptoms of athletes is a very effective measurement designed to aid sports clinicians in return to play decisions. Postural stability tests were found to be extremely important because they measure the center of force in neutral position, any deviation away from neutral position results in a sway.
