Table 4.

Comparison of athletes with concussion to healthy athletes on saccadic parameters. P-values represent Mann-Whitney U results. Sample sizes below each variable represent the number of non-concussed and number of concussed, respectively, individuals in each analysis, representing the number of individuals from each group who could complete the task.

% = Percentage (Accuracies can be >100 if participant overshot laser target stimulus)

Bolded = Statistically significant at alpha < .05
