A Standardized Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test Following Sport-Related Concussion in Youth: Do ActiGraph Algorithms Matter?

ABSTRACT: Current recovery guidelines following sport-related concussion (SRC) include 24-48 hours of rest followed by gradual return-to-activity with heart rate (HR) maintained below symptom threshold. Additionally, the monitoring of physical activity (PA) post-SRC using ActiGraph accelerometers can provide further objective insight on amounts of activity associated with recovery trajectories. Cut-point algorithms for these devices allow minute-by-minute PA to be classified into intensity domains; however, studies have shown different algorithms employed on the same healthy participant dataset can produce varying classifications. To identify the most physiologically appropriate cut-point algorithm (Evenson or Romanzini) to analyze ActiGraph data in concussed youth with comparisons to HR response on
