Differential Sensitivity Between a Virtual Reality Balance Module and Clinically Used Concussion Balance Modalities

Conclusions: The VR balance module has high sensitivity and specificity for detecting subacute balance deficits after concussive injury. Clinical Relevance: The VR balance has a high subacute sensitivity and specificity as a stand-alone balance assessment tool and may detect ongoing balance deficits not readily detectable by the Balance Error Scoring System or Sensory Organization Test. Virtual reality balance modules may be a beneficial addition to the current clinical concussion diagnostic battery.
