A machine learning approach to concussive group classification using discrete outcome measures from a low-cost movement-based assessment system Measurable neuromotor control deficits during functional task performance could provide objective criteria to aid in concussion diagnosis. However, ma…

So excited to share the first publication from my dissertation! Here we used a novel low-cost measurement system to accurately classify athletes with and without concussion based on measures of neuromotor control. Go check it out!

I am so excited share that this study, which uses low-cost assessment technology to look at motor control deficits in individuals with post-acute concussion diagnoses, has just been published in IJSPT. This was a very fun team effort and served as excellent pilot work for my dissertation.
