Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Changes in the Eye-tracking Score Before and After Practice or Game: Phase Error

    The EYE-SYNC test was performed before and after practice to analyze the effect of exercise and sub-concussive impact. The movement of eye was tracked using EYE-SYNC. The data were recorded in a surface tablet connected to EYE-SYNC. Phase error is defined as the difference in degrees between movement of the target and the movement of the eye. Positive values indicate the eye is ahead of the target; negative values indicate the eye is behind the target.

    Up to 6 hours

  • Changes in the Eye-tracking Score Before and After Practice or Game: Tangential and Radial Error

    The EYE-SYNC test was performed before and after practice to analyze the effect of exercise and sub-concussive impact. The movement of eye was tracked using EYE-SYNC. The data were recorded in a surface tablet connected to EYE-SYNC. Tangential and radial error are defined as degrees of variation in eye tracking along a circular path (tangential) and at 90 degrees to the tangential path (radial). Positive values indicate the eye is ahead of the target; negative values indicate the eye is behind the target.

    Up to 6 hours

  • Changes in the Eye-tracking Score Before and After Practice or Game: Vertical and Horizontal Gain

    The EYE-SYNC test was performed before and after practice to analyze the effect of exercise and sub-concussive impact. The movement of eye was tracked using EYE-SYNC. The data were recorded in a surface tablet connected to EYE-SYNC. Vertical and horizontal gain are defined as the ratio of velocity (velocity of the eye:velocity of the target). Positive values indicate the eye is ahead of the target; negative values indicate the eye is behind the target.

    Up to 6 hours

Athletes

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will be evaluated using the EYE-SYNC eye-tracking device, Desktop Eye-Tracker, and Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT-3) tool.

Device: EYE-SYNC eye-tracking deviceOther: SCAT-3Device: Desktop Eye-Tracker

Interventions

The EYE-SYNC® portable eye-tracking system. The eye tracker is a handheld isolated display environment with embedded eye tracking sensors. The eye tracker is connected to a high-performance Windows tablet though a customized docking station. Included accessories with EYE-SYNC are a U.S. tablet power supply adapter and disposable sanitary masks. Participants are asked to follow a dot with their eyes, as the dot moves on the screen of the EYE-SYNC device.

Athletes
SCAT-3OTHER

The Symptom subtest of SCAT-3 assessment tool will be administered to participants.

Athletes

Eye movements are recorded with an eye tracking system (Desktop Eye-Tracker, Eyelink CR, SR Research) with up to 1000 Hz temporal resolution. The target stimulus is presented on a computer screen approximately 50 cm from the participant. Participants are asked to follow a dot with their eyes, as the dot moves on the monitor screen of the desk-top eye-tracking device.
