After concussion, oculomotor and visual processing changes can contribute to:
⢠brain fog
⢠difficulty concentrating
⢠fatigue
⢠headaches
If youāre not assessing the visual system, you may be missing a key driver.

I've had this in my head for 3 years. Finally it's out here.
A PhD will do that to you š¤
Periods + concussion. Not new (also my Masters research)
Luteal phase=concussion risk and recovery. Not new.
BUT WHY?!š®š„
Well one thing I know for sure is there is not one specific reason, BUT, the eyes likely play a role. How frikken cool for an eye obsessed nerdo like me to percolate on.
How can this info be used?
This info is the creme de la creme information for return to š sport or active living. I will tell you exactly why in another episosde.
Also in my Advanced Eye Movements Course
(drop ADVANCED below to get the cool club info)
I am getting very excited!!! š„³

Clinical Graph connects symptoms, biomarkers, eye motion, neck and cervical measures, rehabilitation, and patient outcomes into one interconnected clinical intelligence network. It uncovers subtle relationships hidden across fragmented data and feeds them into Clinical Tokenās Large Clinical Language Model. From scattered clinical data to connected evidence, and from connected evidence to deeper cllinical insight.

Fixation: eyes still, target still š
Gaze stability: eyes still, HEAD moving š
Different systems.
Different tests.
And if you only checked one, you missed the ther 𤪠and that one may actually explain their symptoms.
Drop ADVANCED for the deets!

Wish you could track snd share your BTK gains? š
Super excited to share that BTK will be developing a new feature in collaboration with @concussionrehab.ca š
This will be perfect šÆ for athletes, patients and/or researchers to track and share their data with coaches/clinicians/more.

Your patient comes in with....
ā
ļøBlurry vision
ā
ļøTrouble walking on an uneven path
ā
ļøDizziness
ā
ļøNausea
ā
ļøHeadaches
Visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) is real and VERY common after concussion. Some people are more prone šÆespecially those who easily get regular motion sickness.
My favorite tool for assessing VIMS is @braintoolkit of course
.
ā
ļøOPK
ā
ļøGaze fixation
ā
ļøBalance testing
ā
ļøand and and and
But there's more....VIMS is just one piece of the puzzle. After a concussion, many people become visually dependent. The brain starts relying on vision to judge position and movement instead of integrating it with vestibular and proprioceptive input.
It is never just one thing (the brain is a huge complicated network!).
We will be digging into this and more October 18th š
Advanced Eye Movements for Concussion Rehab
For physio, osteo, kin, and all other clinicians working in concussion care and wanting to add to their tool kit and improve patient outcomes š
It's detective work š„ø
