Diagnosis of mTBI in an ER Setting Using Eye-Tracking and Virtual Reality Technology: An Exploratory Study
Background: The aim of this study was to systematically explore point-of-care biomarkers as diagnostic indicators for the detection and exclusion of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in an emergency room (ER) setting using Eye-Tracking and Virtual Reality (ET/VR) technology. The primary target group included patients who had suffered an acute trauma to the head and […]
Sub-Symptom Threshold Balance Training Facilitates Post-Concussion Syndrome Symptom Resolution Beyond Balance Dysfunction
Background/Objectives: Sports-related concussions can result in prolonged symptoms and deficiencies in stability and balance. Effective and standardized rehabilitation protocols remain limited. This case report introduces a novel balance training program using virtual reality and force plate technology to address persistent post-concussion symptoms. Methods: A 20-year-old National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I football player with […]
Traumatic Brain Injury: Advances in Diagnostic Techniques and Treatment Modalities
Background/Objectives: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major global cause of death and disability, with long-term cognitive, behavioral, and functional consequences. Despite its high burden, management is complicated by heterogeneous presentations and limited evidence. This review summarizes recent advances in monitoring, therapeutic strategies, neuroprotection, and rehabilitation, while highlighting future directions toward individualized and globalized care. […]
Impact of Hearing Loss on Memory Loss in Patients With Self-Reported Olfactory Dysfunction
Introduction The association between hearing loss and dementia, and olfactory dysfunction (OD) and dementia, respectively, is well-elucidated. Several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, impact the olfactory system early in their progression. Despite these established correlations, the independent effect of hearing loss on memory in patients with self-reported olfactory dysfunction is poorly elucidated, […]
A Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study: Relation of Wisconsin Card Sorting Covariates to White Matter Abnormalities in Traumatic Brain Injury
New brain imaging modalities and neuropsychological testing tools are used to study neuronal changes in brain injuries such as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Here we utilized diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) variables to investigate patients with chronic mTBI. Neuropsychological assessments for mTBI evaluate impairments across a broad spectrum […]
