| Summary |
"This book's focus is on concussions that occur through participation in sport. It will meet the needs of those involved in the management of sports-related concussions. The book is organized into four topical sections covering 16 chapters that are essential for understanding neuropsychological aspects of sports concussion. Section one, Symptom Outcomes and Management, includes chapters on persistent postconcussive symptoms; posttraumatic headache and migraine assessment; and depression and anxiety in sports concussion management. Section two, Biological Underpinnings and Consequences, includes three informative chapters focusing on genetic factors; the use of neuroimaging in sports concussion; and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Section three, Factors Affecting the Validity of Neuropsychological Results, addresses a range of important measurement issues that can affect the validity of neuropsychological results in the sports concussion context. It provides an authoritative review on sex differences in sports concussion. The section discusses issues relating to the assessment of effort on testing, and provides a wide-ranging review of a host of validity issues in neuropsychological assessment. Finally, it presents some empirical data comparing the sensitivity of the ImPACT test with traditional neuropsychological measures. Section four, Specialty Contributions to Sports Concussion, includes chapters focusing on neuropsychology in professional sports, and presents a fascinating presentation of virtual-reality paradigms as applied to sports concussion. It also discusses pediatric concussion and focuses on how the paradigm for management of concussions in orthopedic settings has changed dramatically in recent years. The final chapter highlights some of the key take-home points from the book."--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved). |
