Oculomotor, Vestibular, and Reaction Time Tests in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

摘要: Objective Mild traumatic brain injury is a major public health issue and particular concern in sports. One of the most difficult issues with respect to mild involves diagnosis disorder. Typically, made by constellation physical exam findings. However, order best manage injury, it critically important develop objective tests that substantiate diagnosis. With disorder can be better characterized, more accurately diagnosed, studied effectively. In addition, prevention treatments applied where necessary. Methods Two cohorts each fifty subjects one hundred controls were evaluated battery oculomotor, vestibular reaction time related population individuals as compared controls. Results We demonstrated pattern differences between two groups showed how three these yield an 89% sensitivity 95% specificity for confirming current injury. Interpretation These results help characterize vestibular, those non-affected individuals. This characterization will allow development effective point care neurologic diagnostic techniques targeted treatment which may quicker return normal activity.
