ABSTRACT The influence of fear of re-injury that this variable has on recovery outcomes following sports-related concussion remains unknown. We examined changes in fear of re-injury throughout concussion recovery, and compared changes in neurocognitive, symptom, vestibular/ocular motor, and recovery time outcomes between concussed adolescent athletes who endorsed high and low fear of re-injury. Individuals with high fear of re-injury were more symptomatic and more likely to exhibit vestibular/ocular motor symptoms over clinical cutoffs than those with low fear of re-injury. Recovery time was not significantly different between the groups. These findings may help explain performance on more subjective concussion assessments.

高中运动员运动性脑震荡后害怕再损伤的初步研究

摘要 该变量对运动相关脑震荡后恢复结果的恐惧再次受伤的影响仍然未知。我们检查了在整个脑震荡恢复过程中再次受伤恐惧的变化，并比较了脑震荡青少年运动员的神经认知、症状、前庭/眼球运动和恢复时间结果的变化，这些运动员对再次受伤的恐惧程度高和低。与对再次伤害的恐惧程度较低的人相比，高度担心再次受伤的人症状更严重，并且在临床临界值范围内更可能表现出前庭/眼部运动症状。各组之间的恢复时间没有显着差异。这些发现可能有助于解释更主观的脑震荡评估的表现。
