Validation of Clinical Outcome Measures Specific to mTBI-Related Oculomotor Disorders
Salus University
Summary
The specific aim of this project is to validate clinical tests to be used as outcome measures in studies of mTBI-related vision problems.
Description
Participants with (n=50) and without (n=100) a history of mTBI will be recruited. Investigators will study the use of a series of visual endurance tests (tests that require sustained visual responses over a period of time). In addition to developing expected values for these tests, investigators will also after qualitative data about discomfort levels during testing.
