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 |
