Clinical Outcome Measures.

Dependent Variable Outcome Measure
Symptoms The total number of symptoms reported (0 – 22)
Graded Symptom Checklist The weighted total (0 – 6) of the 22 symptoms with higher scores reflecting greater symptom burden (0 – 132)
Standard Assessment of Concussion (SAC) The total score (0 – 30) with a higher score reflecting better performance
Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) The total number of errors across the six stances (0 – 60) with a lower score reflecting better performance
Clinical Reaction Time (CRT) The mean of 8 trials with a lower score reflecting better performance
King Devick (KD) At baseline, the faster of two trials which was performed error free. Following concussion, only trial is performed. A faster time reflects better performance.
Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) Verbal Memory: A higher score reflects better performance
Visual Memory: A higher score reflects better performance
Motor Speed: A higher score reflects better performance
Reaction Time: A lower score reflects better performance
