Hawaii Concussion Awareness and Management Program (HCAMP) has reported that an average of 1,000 concussions were sustained annually by Hawaii's high school athletes since 2010. HCAMP has also reported an average high school athlete takes more than three weeks to recover from a concussion. The featured faculty will provide research-based evidence and discuss the current trends in concussion management and spinal-motion restriction. Topics will include best practices for schools and youth organizations to implement to help keep students and members safe.
Attendees will be provided with the most up-to-date assessment and management techniques and be inspired to start using these techniques immediately.
This conference has broad appeal to athletic trainers, EMT/MICTs, nurses, physical therapists, and physicians.
Ms. Brothers, is a recent Masters of Science graduate from the University of Hawaii’s Kinesiology & Rehabilitation Science department where she is working as a graduate assistant. She will be pursuing her PhD in the fall to continue her work with HuTT808. Last year she presented her poster at the Far West Athletic Trainers Association annual meeting titled “Head Impact Location of Offensive and Defensive Linemen in Hawaiian High School Football.”
Dr. Duffield is a neuropsychologist who specializes in traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., ADHD), and sleep health. In addition to neuropsychological assessment, Dr. Duffield provides a cognitive-behavioral sleep intervention service within the concussion clinic at OHSU. Research interests generally include innovative technologies, such as wearables and biometrics, with the potential to improve clinical assessment and treatment.
Dr. Howell has received numerous awards for his research, including New Investigator Award from these organizations, National Athletic Trainers Association Foundation in 2019 and American College of Sports Medicine in 2020. Most recently, he was awarded the National Athletic Trainer Achievement Award from the Pediatric Research in Sport Medicine Society in 2021. The main goal of Dr. Howell’s research is to evaluate objective and quantitative measures that provide clinically relevant data for concussion management and to discover the physiologic underpinnings of post-concussion deficits.
Dr. Leddy is Professor of Clinical Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University at Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and Director of Outcomes Research for the Department of Orthopaedics. He is a Member of the Expert Panel for the Berlin Fifth International Consensus Conference on Concussion in Sport and a consultant to the NIH on sport concussion research.
Dr. Lumba-Brown is an academic pediatric emergency medicine physician with expertise in neuroscience and neurocritical emergencies. She cares for children and young adults clinically in the Stanford Pediatric Emergency Department. Dr. Lumba-Brown is a national expert on traumatic brain injury and has led several recent large guideline projects. She is also the co-director of the Stanford Brain Performance Center where she works to advance the neuroscience of brain synchronization in childhood development, injury, and aging through novel biomarker discovery and treatments.
Ms. Massingale is the Senior Director of the Banner Sports Medicine and Concussion Center in Arizona. She is a Physical Therapist and is a specialist in vestibular and balance therapy. She has completed the Emory University Vestibular competency and advanced competency courses and has been treating vestibular and balance disorders since the beginning of her career. Since opening the Banner Sports Medicine and Concussion Center in 2013, she has focused her treatment and research solely on concussion. She is a co-developer of the Concussion Balance Test (COBALT) and has published articles that explored the utility of COBALT as an objective measurement of balance for the healthy and injured athletic population.
Dr. Swartz's research interest focuses on the prevention and acute care of head and neck injuries in football. He has received grants from The NATA Foundation, NOCSAE, NFL Charities and was a winner of the NineSigma Head Health Challenge. He has published in journals such as The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, New England Journal of Medicine, Spine, and The American Journal of Sports Medicine. He served on the NFL Head Neck and Spine Committee’s Subcommittee on Safety Equipment and Rules and as chair of the NATA Position Statement on the Acute Management of the Cervical Spine Injured Athlete.
