Abstract

This study examines the relationship between subjective and objective measures of postural balance in varsity athletes, focusing on those with and without a history of sport-related concussion. Among 208 athletes tested, those with past concussions reported more baseline symptoms but showed no significant differences in subjective or objective balance measures compared to those without concussions. Objective balance measures correlated with each other in athletes without concussion history, particularly under eyes-closed conditions, but these correlations and associations with subjective balance complaints were absent in athletes with prior concussions. The findings indicate a poor alignment between subjective and objective balance assessments in varsity athletes regardless of concussion history.
