Six core scales were identified with a broad range of symptom items but with limited information on their psychometric properties .
OBJECTIVE To identify  self-reported sport concussion symptom scales  and to describe the psychometric properties of these identified scales .
Effect of Mild Brain Injury on an Instrumented Agility Task
Objective To identify an objective evaluation technique to guide return-to-play decisions following mild brain injury ( MBI ) using an agility task that incorporates cognitive and motor performance . Design Prospect i ve , controlled , repeated measures study . Setting Collegiate athletic training facility . Participants 84 athletes ( 25 male rugby players , 34 female rugby players , 25 male ice hockey players ) from 3 intercollegiate club teams participated . 9 athletes who suffered MBI during their competitive seasons and 9 matched controls completed the entire study protocol . Main Outcome Measures Time to complete an agility task on the Cybex Reactor and a postconcussive symptoms scale score were assessed in all subjects during the preseason . Injured subjects and matched controls were also assessed 1 , 3 , 5 , and 10 days postinjury . Results Repeated measures analyses of variance revealed significant differences between injured subjects and controls in postconcussion symptoms , but not agility performance . Post hoc testing revealed that injured subjects reported significantly more postconcussion symptoms on Day 1 after injury . Conclusion The methods of agility assessment used in this study appear to not be sensitive enough to detect functional impairment following MBI
