Clinical Evaluation of a Novel Balance, Vestibular and Oculomotor Assessment Tool
Completed
Conditions studied: Mild Concussion, Post Concussion Syndrome, Vestibular Neuritis
In brief
The iDETECT (Integrated Display Enhanced Testing for Concussion and mild traumatic brain injury) system is a novel portable, open access platform that enables immediate and rapid assessment of multimodal neurologic function. This study seeks to evaluate the iDETECT function testing battery with currently used balance and inner ear assessment methods during initial concussion clinic referral. Two groups of participants will be enrolled; a concussion related dizziness cohort and control subjects. The investigators will enroll the concussion cohort from patients presenting to the Sports Concussion Institute (SCI) with persistent dizziness and imbalance symptoms following possible concussion. Healthy control participants will be recruited from the local community. iDETECT's ability to identify post concussion balance/vestibular disturbances will be compared to an expert concussion assessment. Both cohorts will participate in the iDETECT assessment and the clinical assessment.
