#6 - Dr. Mike Cinelli & Katelyn Mitchell | Unseen Deficits


Listen Later

Dr. Cinelli specializes in Behavioural and Cognitive Neural Science as well as Biomechanics. Katelyn is a registered physiotherapist as well as a PhD candidate studying with Dr. Cinelli.

Together their research is focused on determining the physiological recovery of deficits in the integration of visual, vestibular and somatosensory systems for individuals with sport-related concussion. The current objective measures used in clinical practice are not sensitive to detecting these deficits.

Therefore, athletes who are cleared for full return to play may continue to have persistent dysfunction that they are not aware of. This can increase their risk for subsequent injuries as well as decreased performance.
