Performance on the Balance Error Scoring System Decreases After Fatigue.

摘要: OBJECTIVE: To determine the immediate effects of a whole-body fatigue protocol on performance Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), postural-stability test commonly used as part concussion-assessment battery. DESIGN AND SETTING: Subjects were assigned to or control group and assessed before immediately after 20-minute rest period. SUBJECTS: Fourteen subjects 13 participated in this study. All male free vestibular disorders, none had suffered mild head injury lower extremity preceding 6 months, described through self-report. MEASUREMENTS: We measured BESS for 9 stance-surface conditions summed each condition obtain total score. Using Borg scale, we also ratings perceived exertion before, during, RESULTS: found significant increase errors from pretest posttest (14.36 +/- 4.73 versus 16.93 4.32), decrease (13.32 3.77 11.08 3.88), difference between groups posttest. The rating scores significantly different at middle (13.29 1.59 6.23 0.83) end (15.86 2.38 6.15 0.55) CONCLUSIONS: error increased protocol, demonstrating that balance ability diminished. Clinicians who use their sideline assessment concussion should not administer due fatigue.
