Washington, D.C.-based Children's National Medical Center established a partnership with SyncThink to analyze ocular motor deficits in children and adolescents who sustain sports-related concussions, according to Athletic Business.
Here are four insights.
1. The year-long study will focus on a collection of normative performance data from participants ages 6 to 16.
2. The study will also assess the reliability of SyncThink's Eye-Sync platform, which is designed to detect eye-tracking impairment.
3. "Measuring eye tracking in youth with the Eye-Sync product may improve our multimodal and developmentally sensitive assessment process," said study leader and Assistant Director of the Children's National Safe Concussion Outcome Recovery and Education program Christopher Vaughan, PsyD.
4. The SCORE team plans to use Eye-Sync to better understand and recognize ocular motor issues commonly seen after head injury.
