| dc.description.abstract | Recent literature has established a relationship between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and concussion. Individuals with ADHD have a greater lifetime history of concussion, those who experience concussion are more likely to have ADHD, and many of the symptoms that occur from post-concussion syndrome are similar to those caused by ADHD. This study aimed to investigate the impact of ADHD on three standardized concussion assessments (Vestibular Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS), SCAT (Sport Concussion Assessment Tool), and King-Devick), and NeuroTracker, a three-dimensional multiple object tracking (3D-MOT) tool. Previous studies have examined each of these concussion related assessments individually in participants with ADHD, but there is little literature that examines all four tests across the same sample of participants. This study used a retrospective analysis to assess the individual and interactional effects of ADHD and concussion status on these concussion assessment outcomes. Data from previous participants in the University of Victoria Concussion lab, who indicated that their data can be used for future research analysis, was used. Statistical analysis found that current standardized assessment tools are useful regardless of ADHD status. According to SCAT6 results, in females with ADHD symptoms are not related to age. | |
