| Abstract/Contents: | "Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of various parameters on adolescent athletes' performance on the modified Balance Error Scoring System (mBESS) completed as part of a concussion surveillance program. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on athletes' baseline mBESS. Scoring was completed according to published standards (30-total errors). The influence of age, gender, SES (high/low), sport type (collision, contact, non-contact), prior concussion, multisport athlete, test surface and LE injury were examined through separate one-way ANOVAs due to large unequal sub-group sample sizes. Results: Data from 8 schools and one sports club was reviewed and included 389 athletes (64% m, 36% f). The average age was 15.9 (+/-1.5, range 12.1-19.2) and mBESS 25.8 (+/-3.2, range 12-30). A significant main effect of SES (high = 26.43 +/- 2.87 vs low = 25.36 +/- 3.20, P < 0.001), sport type (P = 0.02) and test surface (P < 0.001) were observed. Differences in collision versus contact (P = 0.04), collision versus non-contact (P = 0.04), concrete versus grass (P = 0.004) and concrete versus turf (P = 0.001) were significant in post hoc comparisons. Age, gender, prior concussion, multisport athlete and LE injury did not significantly affect baseline mBESS (P > 0.05). Conclusions: This study examines the influence of various factors on baseline mBESS performance in a cohort of adolescent athletes. SES, sport type and test surface were found to affect test performance. Additional studies are necessary to examine other confounding factors and the utility of these measures in managing recovery from injury. Significance: These findings have implications for how baseline scores are utilized for comparison in a concussion management program. The results challenge previous recommendations to interpret <5 errors as a normal baseline evaluation." |
