Longitudinal Assessment of Selective Motor Dysfunction in Service Members With Combat-Related Mild TBI.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Evaluations of clinical outcomes in service members with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) sustained in combat have largely focused on neurobehavioral and somatic symptoms, neurocognitive functioning, and psychological/psychiatric health. Questions remain regarding other domains, such as gross or fine motor abilities, that could be impacted and are mission-critical to functional warfighters.

Materials and methods

The objective of the current study was to evaluate longitudinal motor function in U.S. Military personnel with and without mild TBI sustained in combat to assess the possible long-term impact. Data from the EValuation Of Longitudinal outcomes in mild TBI active duty military and VEterans (EVOLVE) study were leveraged for analysis. The EVOLVE study has e
