Oculomotor function in young adults with mild traumatic brain injury

This study aims to establish a reliable battery of eye tracking tests to identify alteration in oculomotor function of those with mild TBI.  It also aims to investigate whether neck muscle vibrations influence eye tracking in individuals with post-concussive symptoms, and which oculomotor tests are most useful in differentiating between those with post-concussive symptoms and healthy individuals based on eye movements alone.
