Interest of an Attentional Evaluation by a Computerized Battery in the Management of Concussion in Young Rugby Players

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Neuropsychological tests: List of neuropsychological tests: * Matrix reasoning * D2-R * Coding * Symbol search * Digit span * Alertness (computerized TAP battery) * Divided Attention (computerized TAP battery) * Go / No go (computerized TAP battery) * Incompatibility (computerized TAP battery) * Working memory (computerized TAP battery) * 16-item Free and Cued Recall or Stories subtest of the Children Memory Scale (CMS) for children only (\< 17 years old) * complex figure of the memory efficiency battery 144 or Word pairs of the Children Memory Scale for children only (\< 17 years old)

Study summary

The goal of this study is to test the ability of a computerized neuropsychological battery to identify attentional disorders resulting from a concussion occurring during the practice of rugby. Thirty young people with a concussion (11-25 years old) will take several neuropsychological tests. Researchers will compare their results with those of young athletes without concussion to see the effect of concussion.
