abstract="AIM: To observe the effects of concussion history on cognitive-motor integration in elite-level athletes. <br><br>METHODS: The study included 102 National Hockey League draft prospects (n = 51 concussion history [CH]; n = 51 no history [NC]). Participants completed two computer-based visuomotor tasks, one involved 'standard' visuomotor mapping and one involved 'nonstandard' mapping in which vision and action were decoupled. <br><br>RESULTS: We observed a significant effect of group on reaction time (CH slower) and accuracy (CH worse), but a group by condition interaction only for reaction time (p < 0.05). There were no other deficits found. We discussed these findings in comparison to our previous work with non-elite athletes. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Previously concussed elite-level athletes may have lingering neurological deficits that are not detected using standard clinical assessments.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
