Subject Trauma
Description This study introduced a new and accessible mobile device which administers vision-based testing for concussion assessment in a youth ice hockey league. The Mobile Integrated Cognitive Kit (MICK) facilitates the testing of rapid picture and number naming using the Mobile Universal Lexicon Evaluation System (MULES) and Staggered Uneven Number test (SUN). Visual pathways involve >50% of the brain's circuits, and are nearly universally involved in concussion. Rapid automatized naming tasks like the MULES and SUN are vision-based performance measures for identifying individuals with concussion. Use of a virtual platform will increase further the accessibility of these measures.
