Interested in our sub-studies? Next up, we are looking 👀 into vision and pupillometry tests. These are quick, non-invasive tests that measures how your eyes move and how your pupils respond to light, which can help detect brain changes after a concussion. 👁️

Our sub-study, exercise tolerance🚴♀️ This can be tested in athletes & non-athletes w/ a concussion. By riding a stationary bike, we can track heart rate & blood pressure and see how much activity can be tolerated before symptoms worsen. This helps guide a safe return to activity🏆
