Increased Musculoskeletal Injury Risk Without Impact on Statistical In-Game Performance Within 90 Days From Concussion Among Professional Basketball Athletes
Our analysis demonstrates that basketball players who sustain concussions are at a significantly increased risk for subsequent MSK injury within the 90-day post-RTP period but not player performance. Knowledge of this increased risk of MSK injury in concussed athletes can help guide concussion management for proper RTP and targeted rehabilitation in professional basketball players.
