Trial Outcomes & Findings for Movement Assessment for Concussion Management (NCT NCT02776904)

NCT ID: NCT02776904

Last Updated: 2020-02-26

Results Overview

Verbal memory (total % correct from design memory, total correct from memory score from X's and O's) and visual memory (total number correct/4 during module 3) Scores on verbal memory and visual memory range from 70-99 (high scores are better than low scores). Visual motor speed is comprised correct responses/4 for specific modules and the average counted correctly x3 for a specific module. Scores range from 27-39.8 (high scores are better than low scores)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: cross-sectional baseline

Population: Subset of healthy athletes. The Concussed athlete data for the PVT (as was the ImPACT concussed data) was used clinically to assess individual auditory reaction time and for clinical decision making by the medical team. The concussed PVT data will not be used as aggregate data.

The PVT is a reliable and valid measurement of simple reaction time to an auditory cue. The outcome measure will be the mean reaction time.
