  • When your eyes were working normally and you're following something across your field division, your eyes will smoothly track that when somebody has a concussion.

  • Suddenly, the ability to track that becomes very erratic and your eyes air having trouble focusing.

  • So they moved in very varied patterns and varied speed.

  • We can pick up a concussion using the I guy Focus.

  • 321 Let's see that white dot appear.

  • Fall out with your eyes closed.

  • Uh, your ability to follow an object with your eyes is called.

  • Tracking a concussion breaks down how your brain and eyes normally talk to one another so smoothly.

  • Tracking after a bad hit is difficult.

  • That's what the I guide Focus records.

  • Your results.

  • Air taken before and after an event so you can see in the blue was the baseline he did before the About the green was about five minutes after he had what we call a flash, knock out a very quick knockout, and this is a much heavier fighter who won.

  • But if you notice again, the blue is the baseline where you see a very smooth figure.

  • Evading the red is after the about.

  • It's a supplement to the physician evaluation and the normal criteria that we follow.

  • Changes in speech, memory, concentration, reaction time and I've movements.

  • Right now, there is no single diagnostic tool to determine if someone has a concussion.

  • So doctors use a combination of tests like asking you to repeat numbers or a phrase and checking your hearing and balance to figure out what's happening inside your head after concussions and other mild traumatic brain injuries.

  • Often the memory and the CAT scans do not show any pathology.

  • And so we really are dependent on our clinical exam toe.

  • Understand where the problem is and there a lot of different ways to look at the neurological function of the patient.

  • But I movements are something that we can look at and quantify.

  • Mhm.
