Collegiate Participation in Repetitive Head Impact Sports Does Not Adversely Affect Gait Dual Task Cost
The primary finding of this study indicated no difference between RHI exposed and non-RHI exposed athletes gait DTC performance between the beginning and conclusion of their collegiate athletic careers. While the long-term effects of RHI remain to be fully determined, these results suggest that RHI may not adversely affect ST or DT gait performance when the individual is young.
