Abstract

This research will improve gait assessment procedures used following suspected concussions by quantifying fatigue effects. Using a validated smartphone application (SportGait), this study adopts a within-group experimental design to examine pre- and post-workout gait metrics of power, stride, balance, and symmetry, with poorer scores associated with greater fatigue.
