Concussion Resolution IndexSM

In the pre-season, the athlete takes a 25-minute baseline neurocognitive test on an Internet-connected computer. The test measures reaction time, memory, and other neurocognitive functions. If the athlete gets a concussion or suspected concussion at a later time, the athlete takes a post-trauma test, and the results of that test are statistically compared with the athlete's own baseline. Results of the comparison are immediately available to registered professionals in a trauma report that includes the athlete's pertinent medical history (such as history of prior concussions), details regarding the trauma, and evidence of lingering focal neurologic and neurocognitive symptoms of concussion. Follow-up tests and reports are available to monitor resolution of neurocognitive and other post-concussive symptoms.

Innovation

    •

Patented proprietary technology.

    •

CRI tests can be administered at any PC with Internet access. Athletes can take tests in any available office, at training camp, at the stadium, on the road, anywhere. All tests and records are available to the professional from any PC with Internet access.

    •

Specialized statistics directly compare each athlete's post-injury scores to his/her baseline performance. Only changes from the athlete's own baseline are reported.

    •

Specialized normative statistics tailored to the number of tests taken reduce the influence of practice effects and other sources of error. Multiple equivalent alternate forms are also used to control for practice effects.

    •

Physiological symptoms and concussion characteristics are integrated into reports for consideration in return-to-play decisions.

    •

Medical history, including concussion history, is integrated into reports for consideration in return-to-play decisions.

    •

Cautions regarding test interpretation based on pertinent athlete background data are provided.

    •

Confidentiality is maintained. Only registered providers can view an athlete's report.
