Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine early detection of concussion for those at risk of developing symptoms and to be able to detect subconcussive cerebral impairment, and thus gaining a better understanding of the injury patterns for concussions in Men's and Women's Collegiate sports.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Description of the Research Subjects will be members of NYIT's Collegiate Athletic Teams. Potential subjects will be informed about the proposed study and asked if the athlete is interested in participating. If the athlete agrees, the key investigator will review the study procedures, what is expected of the subject, and complete the informed consent process. Participation will be completely voluntary and will have no impact on the quality of care the subject will receive. Inclusion and exclusion criteria will then be evaluated by the key investigator to determine if the subject is qualified to participate in this study. Following consent and review of inclusion and exclusion criteria, the subject will be assigned a subject identification number in which is intended to maintain confidentiality of the subject's personal health information. The number will be used for the duration of the study and in all analyses. Once enrolled, the subjects will complete a baseline questionnaire\* that will include demographic information and personal history, as well as consent for de-identified information to be shared with a third party, Quadrant Biosciences, for research purposes. The subjects will be evaluated by a series of measurements, ClearEdge, Quadrant Bioscience Salivary Testing, King Devick, and Im PACT, in the preseason, midseason, and postseason, or if they are suspected of a concussion by the athletic trainer or team physician.
