Predicting Behavioural Deficits and Creating Biomarkers After Repeated Sub-concussive Injury
Project Overview
Concussions frequently occur worldwide, with a subset of patients experiencing lasting symptoms impacting their quality of life. Sub-concussive injuries, which are head impacts that do not provoke acute symptoms, have been suggested to cumulate and predispose the brain to symptomatic concussion. Individuals regularly exposed to sub-concussive forces (contact sport athletes,…

Project Overview
When a person suffers a severe brain injury, whether from an accident, stroke, or infection, clinicians struggle to predict if they will recover. During this time, families have many questions, such as: is my loved-one in there at all? Will they be themselves again at some point? Currently, our healthcare…

Project Overview
Understanding the relationship between racial marginalization and healthcare delivery to patients after traumatic brain injury may reveal inequities and highlight quality improvement opportunities. Importantly, this represents a critical priority area to ensure delivery of evidence-based treatments are equitably allocated to all Canadians, regardless of background. In this work, we aim…
