Cerebral Concussion. The word concuss means “to shake violently.” Cerebral concussion is defined as a transient, temporary, neurogenic dysfunction caused by mechanical force to the brain. Cerebral concussions are the most common form of head injury.
A system and method for detecting or verifying recovery from concussion includes a headset or head-attachable device placed against the head of a patient who has exhibited concussion. In the device is an accelerometer for detecting and measuring natural motions of the head due to blood flow in the brain. After a prescribed number of days post-concussion, when the patient returns to physical activity, the accelerometer data from natural motions are analyzed to determine whether concussion persists. Preferably a gross movement accelerometer is also included in the head-attachable device, to record gross movements of the head, so as to correlate any increase in concussion-indicating data with the return to physical activity.

A method for detecting, diagnosing or screening for concussion in a subject includes a) tracking eye movement of at least one eye of the subject, b) analyzing eye movement of at least one eye of the subject, c) calculating a statistical test for eye movement of at least one eye of the subject as compared to a normal or mean eye movement, and d) detecting, diagnosing or screening for an impairment based on the calculated statistical test.
