Postconcussion Exercise Volume Associations With Depression, Anxiety, and Dizziness Symptoms, and Postural Stability: Preliminary Findings.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the association between postconcussion exercise volume and changes in depression, anxiety, dizziness, and postural stability.

Design

Secondary analysis of a single-site prospective clinical trial.

Setting

Cerebrovascular research laboratory.

Participants

Participants completed questionnaires and underwent tests of gait and balance within 2 weeks of a concussion (mean = 11 ± 3 days postconcussion) and approximately 1 month later (mean = 41 ± 7 days postconcussion). Exercise volume was tracked by weekly exercise logs.
