Abstract
The current study compares driving performance (using a virtual reality driving simulator; VRDS) between individuals recently concussed (RC) and an age and gender-matched healthy control (HC) group. Participants were recruited from consecutive referrals from 2 universities. Concussion was diagnosed by treating sports physician using the Zurich Concussion Consensus guidelines. Participants were seen for a 2.5 hr. testing session within the first 72 hours post-concussion. Testing included VRDS administration and a series of cognitive measures. Paired sample T-tests were used to compare group differences. In the straight driving task, the RC group spent more time outside their designated lane compared to HC (p = 0.005). In the curved driving task, the RC group drove significantly slower than the HC group (p = 0.02).
