Balance Markers and Saccadic Eye-Movement Measures in Adolescents With Postconcussion Syndrome.

CONCLUSIONS: Performing dual-task balance conditions for which the secondary task involves a gaze-shifting component or both a gaze-shifting component and a high cognitive load resulted in greater sway amplitude in adolescents with concussion. However, these larger amounts of postural sway were not associated with increased saccadic eye movements. PMID: 32216658 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
