Popis: | This study investigated the long-term effects of multiple concussions on prefrontal cortex oxygenation using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during a squat-stand maneuver that activated dynamic cerebral autoregulation.Active male retired contact sport athletes with a history of 3+ concussions (mTBI; n = 55), and active retired athletes with no concussion history (CTRL; n = 29) were recruited. Participants completed a 5-min squat-stand maneuve (10-s squat, 10-s stand, 0.05 Hz; 15 times). Oxygenated (OmTBI group showed left prefrontal cortex OThese preliminary results suggest changes in prefrontal cortex oxygenation potentially affecting the brain's ability to adapt to changing cerebral perfusion pressure after multiple previous concussions. |
