Head Injury Consequences Could Take Years to Unfold
June 22, 2023
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have long-term effects, much like a chronic condition, a new study says. Looking at hundreds of patients, researchers found that problems related to traumatic brain injuries can last for years, with people improving and declining at different time points. These problems encompassed memory, thinking and everyday functioning. "TBI is essentially a chronic condition like many other chronic conditions," said lead researcher Benjamin Brett, an assistant professor in the Departments of Neurosurgery and Neurology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. "Things can change, both up and down, improve and decline throughout multiple years." Because of this, there's a need to monitor patients "well beyond that post-injury period," Brett said. "We need to establish systems of care that involve continued monitoring and treatment." This is best achieved via objective concussion assessment.
We would like to say hello and introduce the Medical Service we’ll be offering your student athlete/performer. We are here to provide a non-invasive assessment to help diagnose the presence of a concussion or lack thereof.
EyeBOX by Oculogica is the medical device being used. EyeBOX is an FDA Approved Grade 2 Medical Device. We can test ages 5 – 67. EyeBOX delivers a score in under 4 minutes.
Easy to use, EyeBOX is as simple as asking the student to watch a short, engaging video. It is a non-invasive process that doesn’t require additional procedures for confirmation of results.
Though it won’t prevent a concussion from happening, baseline testing allows coaches and athletic trainers an objective test to diagnose concussions when they do happen and prevent athletes from returning to competition too soon and making injuries worse.
A concussion can effect the ability of the ocular muscles to track properly and the EyeBOX tests this
