Barron Associates Selected by National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to Develop a Field-Side Sports Concussion Assessment

This research aims to provide rapid and objective oculomotor function assessment using low-cost tablet/smart-phone devices that are readily available field-side. The mobile Sports-Concussion Oculomotor Response Evaluation (mobileSCORE) tool may then be used in conjunction with additional concussion evaluation techniques to protect youth athletes from premature return-to-play following a potential concussive injury.  The effort includes a collaborative feasibility assessment  with local high-school athletic departments and athletes.
