For many athletes, concussions are a very real and daunting risk. Treatment usually
includes physical and cognitive rest, however the concussion itself must be recognized in
the first place. I'm Sonia Singh for the dailyRX news network.
A recent study has found that a vision test used on the sidelines can aid in correctly
diagnosing a concussion. This test takes less than a minute to complete, unless the person
has a concussion. When these results were combined with the results of two other established
concussion tests, all the concussions in a season were able to be identified among a
group of university athletes.
Speak to your doctor to learn more about the ways to diagnosis and treat a concussion.
