The secondary purpose was to replicate previously reported total symptoms, performance on neurocognitive balance testing. DESIGN: Prospective cross-sectional study of consecutively enrolled clinic patients within 21 days a SRC. SETTING: Specialty Concussion Clinic. PARTICIPANTS: Included male (n = 36) female 28) ages 9 18 years. INTERVENTIONS: Vestibular measured the Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS). Participants completed Immediate Post-concussion Assessment Cognitive Test (ImPACT), Symptom Scale (PCSS), Balance Error Scoring System (BESS). MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: Sex clinical measures. RESULTS: Females had higher PCSS scores (P 0.01) greater VOMS ocular reflex (VOR) score compared males. There were no BESS or ImPACT. Total together accounted for 45% variance VOR scores. CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest after SRC athletes. FINDINGS did not extend other components tool suggesting that may be specific certain types Additional research significance current findings is needed. Language: en
