Table 6.

Comparison of athletes with concussion to healthy athletes on optokinetic and reaction time parameters. Optokinetic gain is defined as fast phase eye velocity / optokinetic stimulus velocity. 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.
