Standardized Instruments to Provide Diagnostic and Prognostic Information in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1. 1This trial used a lot of eye movement and balance tests — like tracking eye movements and measuring how well I can see while moving — to assess mild TBI. Could any of these tools, like the I-PAS eye tracking or the Dynamic Visual Acuity Test, be used in my own evaluation, and what might the results tell us about my recovery?
2. 2Since this trial has already been completed, has my doctor seen or reviewed any findings from it that might influence how they would diagnose or predict the course of my concussion?
3. 3The trial measured both cognitive tests like ImPACT and ANAM alongside physical tests like balance and eye movement — does my care team currently use a combination of these approaches, or is there a gap in my assessment that the findings from this study might help fill?
4. 4The trial tracked symptoms using the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory — how does my doctor currently monitor the kinds of symptoms this tool measures, like headaches, dizziness, or cognitive difficulties, and how would we know if my recovery is going off track?
5. 5Because this was a diagnostic and prognostic study rather than a treatment trial, what do the results potentially mean for predicting how long my recovery might take, and is there anything in my specific situation that would change that outlook?
