“…However, the baseline differs for able-bodied and para-athletes using the screening method for concussion. In addition, because some disabilities make it difficult to use conventional screening methods for some evaluation items, establishing a competition-specific evaluation system and following up with individual athletes is essential 24. In fact, new evaluation tools for athletes with lower limb or spinal cord disorders have already been validated, and a multifaceted evaluation capability is required in the future 25.…”

ObjectiveIn Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, there were the rule and goal size changes at the blind football competition. This study aimed to compare the scoring and head impact characteristics during blind football competition between the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games using the official videos.DesignVideo-based observational study.ParticipantsIn total, 36 blind football (men’s football 5-a-side) game videos were obtained from the official International Paralympic Committee.Primary and secondary outcome measuresHead impact was defined as the sudden contact of any object with the head. Videos were analysed to assess the number of scores and head impacts along with their corresponding details (ie, round, playing phase, scoring situation, impact situation, occurrence area, impact object, head impact site, fall and foul).ResultsThe total number of goals scored at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games was nearly double that at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games. Regarding head impacts, a total of 2036 cases (Rio 2016, n=1105; Tokyo 2020, n=931) were evaluated. Significant differences were observed in head impact characteristics between the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games among seven outcomes (round, scoring situation, impact situation, occurrence area, impact object, site of head impact and fall).ConclusionsCompared with the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games showed an increase in the number of points scored and different head impact characteristics.
