Post-concussion clinical findings of oculomotor function in paediatric patients with persisting symptoms compared to healthy controls.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Oculomotor deficits in vergence and accommodation can arise in paediatric patients with persistent concussion symptoms, although the profile is not well established. This study aimed to describe the frequency of these deficits in persistently symptomatic concussed paediatric patients and identify effective screening tools.

Methods

This was a prospective cohort study conducted at three clinical sites across the United States. Participants aged 8-18 years with diagnosed concussion were recruited within 9 months of injury through concussion clinics or referral to a vision provider. Participants without concussion were recruited through the local community and eye clinics. Clinical measures of ocular alignment, vergence and accommodation were collected. Group compariso
