Recent work has identified deficits in dual-task gait balance control for up to 2 months following teen concussions, however how resuming of pre-injury physical activities affects recovery is unknown. Conclusions: Adolescents with concussion displayed increased center-of-mass medial/lateral displacement and velocity during dual-task walking following RTA, suggesting a regression of recovery in gait balance control. This study reinforces the need for a multi-faceted approach to concussion management and continued monitoring beyond the point of clinical recovery.
