Brief Summary

A prospective cohort study with 9 months follow up was carried out in 2017-2018. Boxers of both sexes 18 years and older from all 7 boxing clubs in Iceland were invited to participate in the study. Participants filled out a questionnaire on previous injuries during boxing training and competition and were evaluated on the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 3rd edition (SCAT3). Exposure at training and competition was measured and any injuries sustained during the study period were recorded via text messages and phone calls every 2 weeks.

The test has eight subcomponents that are measured in the following order (note that for baseline measurement the first two components were not used): 1. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS): Assesses level of consciousness. 2. Maddocks Score: Assesses orientation to time and place. 3. Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS). 4. Standard Assessment of Concussion (SAC). 5. Neck Examination. 6. Modified Balance Error Scoring System (mBESS). 7. Coordination examination (finger-to-nose test). 8. SAC delayed recall: Patient asked to recall the list of words given earlier.
