Surrey, English Columbia, Jan. 16, 2019 / PRNewswire / - a team of canadian and American brain researchers published the results of a long - term study of hockey concussion, which tracked the brain function of young juniors-male hockey players, using a fresh method of forecasting brain waves under the title " actual characteristics of the brain."

The peer-reviewed study is posted online and will be presented as an "editor's choice" in the February issue of Brain: A Journal of Neurology (https://academic.oup.com/brain/article-lookup/doi/10.1093/brain/awy317), published by the Oxford Institute.

The study demonstrated that" actual characteristics " of the brain - a breakthrough in the analysis of hard data of brain waves to provide a simple, practical and impartial, physical evaluation of brain function is more sensitive to detection of change of brain function associated with concussion than to be a clinical research on concussion. Relevant characteristics of the brain translate difficult brain waves from miniature electroencephalography (EEG) – measured on the ringside – into quick, favorable and instinctively understandable results.

Results of the study : 
The research team noticed that the actual characteristics of the brain noticed neurophysiological disorders, these as a lack of interest and cognitive processing, the players, who were diagnosed with concussions and who were cleared to return to the game. Stunningly, scientists have yet to notice an important lag in cognitive processing for players who haven't been diagnosed with concussions at every time in the direction of the season (unconscious consequences).

This work was the result of ongoing canadian-American collaboration between neurologists working in the field of health and technology in Surrey, English Columbia, the scientific and innovative society in conjunction with the center for sports medicine Mayo clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Through a consortium of initiatives and technologies familiar as BrainNET, the field of health and technology has come up with a network of clinical academic innovations designed to provide advances in neuro-technology for personal improvement of brain health.

Doctor Ryan D'arcy, co-founder of the neighborhood health and technology, doctor of SFU and a senior Creator of the study, describes the study as a significant step forward in the assessment of concussion and managing recovery. 

"Sports-related concussion is considered to be the leading topic of discussion between researchers, medical workers, the medical society, the sports industry and all kinds of municipal institutions. There is a growing concern on the pretext that concussions have all the chances to be associated with an increased risk of persistent cognitive and psychological disorders of well - being later in life," says Dr. d'arcy. 

D'arcy that, without paying attention to the 10 clinical studies dedicated to sports-related concussions, there is still an important gap in terms of impartial physical characteristics of brain function that have every chance of being simply deployed and simply applied in the space of offering medical support.

According to the texts of Sean Fickling, the main Creator of the study and graduate student of SFU: "what is even more amazing, in fact that we not only find undetected physical disorders in players diagnosed with concussion that have been cleared in order to perform, we have noticed, in fact that players who have not been diagnosed with concussion demonstrated a decrease in cognitive processing speed subsequently season - it is expected, in fact, that as a result of cyclic 'unconscious results."" 

Doctor Ainsley Smith, PH.D., sports and the material specialist in psychology and prospector of concussion in the sports medicine Clinic of Mayo, added: "the Mayo clinic Hospital was on the front edge studies in the field of prevention, diagnosis and management of concussion in hockey. We have accepted the need to move from personal concussion diagnoses based on questions that players have every chance to refute or hyperbolize, to more impartial measurements. That's why we were happy to cooperate in this study."

Dr. Michael Stuart, the doctor of medical Sciences, doctor of orthopedic surgery and co-Director of the Clinic of sports medicine Mayo further explains: "concussion in sports, especially in hockey, is considered the massive task of social health with an estimated 1.6 million to 3.8 million sports concussions taking place per year only in the United States. Increasingly, there is a need to develop practical layouts with the introduction of impartial physical measures that are still possible to quickly and easily use in sports and clinical criteria, so that the medical staff had the opportunity than any other to diagnose and treat concussions."
