“…This finding also was not consistent with previous findings showing a relationship between positive VOMS and fear of reinjury. 19 Previous studies evaluating fear avoidance after sportsrelated injuries in the adolescent and adult population looked at fear of physical movement using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia. 19,34 Unlike pain because of musculoskeletal injuries, symptoms related to concussion can be exacerbated by cognitive stress in addition to physical demands, for which the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia may not account.…”

“…17 Likewise, fear avoidance and postconcussion symptoms are positively correlated, 18 and fear avoidance predicts greater symptom severity and disability in adult patients with mild traumatic brain injury. 12 Anderson et al 19 recently showed that adolescents with high fear of reinjury after an SRC were more symptomatic and more likely to exhibit vestibulo-ocular symptoms.…”

“…Emotional and psychological responses to concussion represent modifiable, contextual factors and highlight the need for concussion management to instill active coping strategies and nurture social support. Even after RTA and after returning to pre-injury level of sport competition following following sport-related concussion (when there may be a low perceived need for continued management), concussed athletes who have pre-existing mental health problems, 28 who fear re-injury, 25 and/or who are concerned about the long-term consequences of concussion 26 may be less likely to sustain their participation at their pre-injury level of sport competition if they do not receive the required social support. 29,30 This study has a number of limitations.…”

Objectives: To estimate the times taken to receive clearance to return to sporting activity and to return to pre-injury level of sport competition following sport-related concussion, and to estimate the proportion of athletes who were participating at their pre-injury level of sport competition six months and one-year following sport-related concussion. Design: Prospective cohort study. Methods: Amateur, adult athletes (16-38 years old) were diagnosed with sport-related concussion at a university-affiliated hospital emergency department. Participants were assessed within one-week, upon medical clearance to return to sporting activity, two weeks following return to sporting activity, six months, and 12 months following sport-related concussion. We assessed sex-, age-, and activitymatched non-injured, control participants at matched time-points. Participants were asked during each study assessment whether they were participating in any sport, in a different sport than before their sport-related concussion, in the same sport but at a lower level of competition than before their sportrelated concussion, or in the same sport at the same level of competition than before their sport-related concussion. Results: Fifty concussed participants and 50 non-injured, control participants completed the study. The median times taken to receive clearance to return to sporting activity and to return to pre-injury level of sport competition following sport-related concussion were 13 days (95%CI = 12,16) and 31 days (95%CI = 28,32), respectively. One-year following sport-related concussion, 52% of participants reported that they were no longer participating in the same sport and at the same level of competition as they were before their sport-related concussion, compared with only 24% of participants in the non-injured, control group (p = 0.003). Conclusions: A greater percentage of athletes in the concussion group were not participating at their perceived pre-injury level of sport competition one-year following sport-related concussion compared with a non-injured control group. Factors that explain the lower proportion of amateur athletes participating at their pre-injury level of sport competition one-year after sport-related concussion are likely multifaceted and should be considered in future investigations.

“…A study of athletes with SRC found that higher rating of the fear of re-injury correlated with higher total and affective postconcussive symptoms [ 47 ]. This indicates that athletes with a greater concern of additional SRC may rate their symptoms as more severe, which may influence results in both gCS and gCC but particularly in gCC.…”

Quality of life of ice hockey players after retirement due to concussions

Background: Sports-related concussion (SRC) is increasingly recognized as a potential health problem in ice hockey. Quality of life (QoL) in players retiring due to SRC has not been thoroughly addressed. Materials & methods: QoL using the Sports Concussion Assessment Tool 5th Edition, Impact of Event Scale-Revised and Short Form Health Survey was measured in Swedish ice hockey players who retired due to persistence of postconcussion symptoms or fear of attaining additional SRC. Results: A total of 76 players were assessed, on average of 5 years after their most recent SRC. Overall, retired players had a high burden of postconcussion symptoms and reduced QoL. Conclusion: Retired concussed ice hockey players have a reduced QoL, particularly those retiring due to postconcussion symptoms. Symptom burden should be continuously evaluated and guide the decision to retire.
