Reliability and Sensitivity of a Virtual Assessment Developed for Workplace Concussions: Protocol for a Method-Comparison Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Workplace mild traumatic brain injuries are frequently associated with persistent symptoms, leading to a reduction in productivity at work or even disability. People who sustain workplace injuries frequently need rehabilitation and support, and the challenges of delivering these services was heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic as injured workers had to be cared for remotely. Currently, clinicians are conducting both in-person and virtual (remote) concussion assessments; however, the measures that are being used to complete these assessments have undocumented psychometric properties.

Objective

This study will document the psychometric properties of the clinical measures that are being used remotely and their ability to produce similar results to in-person asses
