University of Cincinnati College of Medicine researchers analyzed peripheral vision reaction times in patients who suffered concussions.
Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine published the study.
Here are three thoughts:
1. Researchers found patients who experienced concussions with visual dysfunction, subsequently experienced "significantly delayed central and peripheral vision reaction times," compared to patients without concussion history.
2. Those patients with post-concussion visual dysfunction saw slowed central vision reaction times and peripheral vision reaction times.
3. Joe Clark, PhD, a neurology and rehabilitation professor, noted peripheral vision reaction times were "disproportionately prolonged when compared with the healthy control group."
