There is a lack of sensitive tools to examine subtle changes in postural control during the recovery phase following sports\u2010related concussion. Only a limited number of studies have examined nonlinear dynamics of postural control; no study has examined this metric longitudinally during the recovery phase following a sports\u2010related concussion.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>To examine sway and complexity index of postural control in collegiate athletes during day 3, day 21, and day 90 following a concussion and compare them with noninjured controls.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>Prospective longitudinal case\u2010control study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Setting<\/jats:title><jats:p>University cerebrovascular research laboratory.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Participants<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirty\u2010one male and female collegiate athletes on day 3 following a concussion.
