No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will synthesize a behavioral profile of impaired driving performance for teenage patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), or concussion, from one week post-concussion to six weeks post-concussion. It will also elucidate the relation between decreased reaction times exhibited by these patients and their functional response to driving hazards. While a few studies have examined driving performance in adult patients with mTBI, to the investigators knowledge this will be the first investigation of driving performance for teenage patients with mTBI. Therefore, it will provide the foundation for the future development of return-to-drive protocols for physicians and clinical practitioners.
