Dr. 凯文Guskiewicz

Using both laboratory and on-the-field data, Guskiewicz was one of the first researchers to identify the long-term effects of multiple concussions, including cognitive impairment and depression in later life, through large-scale epidemiological studies of retired 职业足球运动员.

Recognizing the inadequacy of traditional concussion screening tools, which relied primarily on an athlete’s self-report of symptoms, Guskiewicz demonstrated that postural control, or balance, serves especially well as an objective measure in the evaluation 脑震荡发作. 他的便携和成本效益平衡误差计分系统 is now widely used by athletic trainers at colleges and secondary schools to diagnose 更快速准确地处理伤害.

Most recently, he has focused on the cumulative effects of repetitive, sub-threshold 大脑的影响. 利用嵌入在大学橄榄球头盔里的加速度计 young hockey players, he and colleagues are investigating the relationship between 头部撞击的大小和次数与脑震荡的临床症状. 把这个 research a step further, he is working directly with collegiate football players and coaches to identify dangerous hits in real time and to correct improper tackling techniques 与持续性脑震荡有关. 同时让临床医生，教练，家长参与进来 and athletes in recognizing the immediate and long-term effects of concussions, Guskiewicz is contributing significantly to state and federal policy discussions concerning development of more stringent return-to-play guidelines and head-gear investigations that will 提高各年龄段运动员的安全.

His groundbreaking work has led to numerous awards, including the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship, known as “the genius grant,” in 2011 for his innovative work on the diagnosis, 运动相关脑震荡的治疗和预防. 他和他的同事使用 该奖项旨在帮助提高高中十大彩票平台官网的安全性，并帮助美国提高十大彩票平台官网的安全性.S. 军事 identify and treat serious head injuries, leading to Time magazine naming him a “Game Changer, one of 18 innovators and problem-solvers inspiring change in America.”

Both the NFL and the NCAA used Guskiewicz’s research when each organization rewrote 它的脑震荡指南和建议.

His research has resulted in 23 funded-research grants, the publication of more than 90 journal articles and six textbook chapters related to concussions in sport. He was awarded a Fellowship in the American College of Sports Medicine in 2003, the National Academy of Kinesiology in 2006 and the National Athletic Trainers’ Association in 2008.
