To prospectively evaluate single/dual-task timed-up-and-go (TUG) and tandem gait performance among children and adolescents with concussion and healthy controls. ⋯ Slower dual-task TUG and tandem gait times were detected across both time points for the concussion group relative to the control group. In contrast, single-task tandem gait deficits appeared to improve in a similar fashion as symptoms, suggesting increased complexity from the addition of a cognitive task allows for the detection of persistent post-concussion deficits that might take longer to resolve.

Non-disclosure of concussion complicates concussion management, but almost nothing is known about non-disclosure in military settings. This study describes concussion disclosure-related knowledge, attitudes, perceived social norms, perceived control, and intention. Additionally, the study identifies determinants of high intention to disclose concussion symptoms. ⋯ Concussion-related perceived social norms, attitudes, and perceived control are associated with intention to disclose. Organizationally appropriate intervention strategies can be developed from these data.
