Using gait to assess post-concussion cognitive dysfunction

The purpose of this study is to investigate walking dynamics and how they relate to cognitive function.

During this experiment, participants will complete two neurocognitive tests while sitting and one verbal cognitive task while walking. The walking path will be tracked via a video recording. No identifying information or identifiable features will be collected as part of this tracking. Participants are encouraged to wear athletic or non-loose/baggy clothing to ensure optimal joint-tracking for accurate data collection.

The effect of secondary attentional tasks on smooth pursuit eye movements and reaction time in mild traumatic brain injury

This study investigates the use of eye tracking technology as a diagnostic tool for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and concussion. We are looking at the effect of additional working memory (short-term memory) load on the smoothness of eye movements in both concussed and healthy populations.

Prehospital Tranexamic Acid Use for Traumatic Brain Injury (TXA)

Primary aim: To determine the efficacy of two dosing regimens of TXA initiated in the prehospital setting in patients with moderate to severe TBI (GCS score ≤12).

Primary hypothesis: The null hypothesis is that prehospital administration either of two dosing regimens of TXA in patients with moderate to severe TBI will not increase the proportion of patients with a favorable long-term neurologic outcome compared to placebo, based on the GOS-E at 6 months.
