Eye-tracking in concussion - Controlled Adult Arm

STUDY BASICS

Are you 18-29 years old without a concussion? You may be able to participate in a research study testing if a new device can accurately identify concussions. Compensation is provided.

STUDY PURPOSE

The goal of the study is to further develop and test a tracking scanner laser ophthalmoscope (TSLO) or Retitrack device, for use in assessing mild traumatic brain injuries, or concussions. This device measures your eye movements. We can measure the way your eye moves, and this tells us about how your eyes are affected from your concussion. TSLO, or Retitrack, is being reviewed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but is not currently approved for this use. We also will be testing healthy people without concussions in the study to compare the tests between the two groups (concussed and non-concussed). 

COULD THIS STUDY BE RIGHT FOR YOU?

Eligible participants:

• Are ages 18-29
• Without a concussion
• Have not been concussed within the last 6 months
• Have had a minor orthopaedic injury within the last 10 days 

WHAT PARTICIPANTS CAN EXPECT

You will be asked to complete several eye tests for the study. For some tests you will answer on a computer (multiple choice and fill in the blank).
