Interest of an Attentional Evaluation by a Computerized Battery in the Management of Concussion in Young Rugby Players


Sponsor

University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand

Enrollment

90 participants

Start Date

Mar 9, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this study is to test the ability of a computerized neuropsychological battery to identify attentional disorders resulting from a concussion occurring during the practice of rugby. Thirty young people with a concussion (11-25 years old) will take several neuropsychological tests. Researchers will compare their results with those of young athletes without concussion to see the effect of concussion.
