Field Implementation of iDETECT

Completed

• Conditions: Brain Trauma; Concussion
• Interventions: Device: integrated Display Enhanced Testing for Cognitive Impairment and mild traumatic brain injury (iDETECT); Device: Riddell High Impact Technology (HIT) System; Device: i1 Biometrics Vector Mouth Guard

• Registration Number: NCT02529618
• Lead Sponsor: Emory University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess a new screening tool for sideline evaluation of concussion injuries in athletes. iDETECT is a new technology that combines several elements of recommended concussion screening tools into a single, portable device.

Detailed Description

The goal of the research is to evaluate the use of a multimodal platform (iDETECT) for immediate post-injury neuropsychological, balance and oculomotor assessment, and to evaluate the iDETECT platform as a return-to-play assessment tool during the post injury management period following concussion.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Football Athlete Group	integrated Display Enhanced Testing for Cognitive Impairment and mild traumatic brain injury (iDETECT)	All football athlete participants in this arm will take the integrated Display Enhanced Testing for Cognitive Impairment and mild traumatic brain injury (iDETECT) test. Participants who sustain a concussion during the football season will complete the iDETECT test and a standing balance test (BESS assessment) four times after injury. Participants in this arm are eligible to receive the Riddell High Impact Technology (HIT) System or the i1 Biometrics Vector Mouth Guard. NOTE: Football athletes who sustain a concussion during the football season will be evaluated and managed according to standard concussion screening and return-to-play (RTP) protocols. Performance on iDETECT or other study related tasks will NOT be used to make diagnosis, management, or return to play decisions. Study staff will not assist with or influence diagnosis, management, or return-to-play decision making by teams' medical personnel.
