The iDETECT (Integrated Display Enhanced Testing for Concussion and mild traumatic brain
injury) system is a novel portable, open access platform that enables immediate and rapid
assessment of multimodal neurologic function. This study seeks to evaluate the iDETECT
function testing battery with currently used balance and inner ear assessment methods during
initial concussion clinic referral. Two groups of participants will be enrolled; a
concussion related dizziness cohort and control subjects. The investigators will enroll the
concussion cohort from patients presenting to the Sports Concussion Institute (SCI) with
persistent dizziness and imbalance symptoms following possible concussion. Healthy control
participants will be recruited from the local community. iDETECT's ability to identify post
concussion balance/vestibular disturbances will be compared to an expert concussion
assessment. Both cohorts will participate in the iDETECT assessment and the clinical
assessment.

The iDETECT (Integrated Display Enhanced Testing for Concussion and mild traumatic brain
injury) system is a novel portable, open access platform that enables immediate and rapid
assessment of multimodal neurologic function. This study seeks to evaluate and validate the
iDETECT balance, vestibular, and oculomotor testing battery with clinician performed balance
and vestibular assessment methods. Two groups of participants will be enrolled; concussion
related dizziness cohort and control subjects (no concussion or dizzy symptoms). The
investigators will enroll the concussion cohort from patients presenting to the Sports
Concussion Institute (SCI) with persistent dizziness and imbalance symptoms following
possible concussion. Healthy control participants with normal vestibular function and no
history of concussion will be recruited from the local community. All participants will be
tested with both the iDETECT balance and vestibular assessment battery and the current
clinical reference standards for imbalance and vestibular dysfunction performed by a
clinician. Performance on the iDETECT balance and vestibular assessment battery will be
compared between normal controls and the concussion cohort.
