Emotional Ratings, Behavioral Performance, and Post-Concussive Symptoms in Adolescents with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) within Typical Recovery Windows: Reevaluating “Normal” Recovery
Frontiers in human neuroscience, v 12

Abstract
OBJECTIVES : Within typical recovery windows (2-4 weeks post injury), most individuals who have experienced mTBI make a full recovery and are thought to return to baseline levels. Typical methods used to assess concussion recovery include symptom reporting and neurocognitive testing. Post-concussion symptom reporting can be valuable in capturing an individual’s subjective recovery experience, although this type of reporting is subject to various biases. Neurocognitive testing aims to approach and assess the effects of injury and injury recovery in more objectively, yet assessments utilized for this purpose often lack ecological validity. Beyond these factors, most evaluations of mTBI recovery lack evaluation of an individual’s emotional state, which is known to be affected in mTBI. The prolonged period of sport participation in early adolescence as well as high competition in interscholastic sports increases the likelihood that adolescents may return to sports before a full recovery is made. Subsequently, this can prolong recovery rates and put adolescents at-risk for more serious brain injury. The current study aims to delve deeper into the evaluation of adolescents at a time point when a full recovery is thought to have occurred in order to assess if a full recovery is in fact made by adolescents with mTBI across various factors when compared to healthy matched peers.
