Table 1. Participant Demographics.

There were no significant differences (P>0.05) for participant demographics expect for Concussion History, expected as per inclusion guidelines, which was significant (P<0.001). The CONC group were acutely classified with an 11.9% loss of consciousness rate and a 26.2% post-traumatic amnesia rate. The Symptom Score was a 22 item 0 – 6 graded symptom checklist with a higher score reflecting greater symptom burden. The Standard Assessment of Concussion is a brief cognitive screen with a score range of 0 – 30 with a higher score reflecting better cognitive performance. These were only collected on the CONC participants.
