The C3Logix is a computerized concussion assessment tool that measures a wider array of symptoms (i.e., balance and oculomotor functioning) than other computerized batteries. Although the C3Logix has been used increasingly by athletic organizations at all levels of play, its utility within the concussion population has not been extensively examined. The current study aimed to determine whether the C3Logix is sensitive to the effects of concussion. A total of 54 student-athletes enrolled at a large southern university completed the C3Logix at baseline and within days following a suspected concussion (mean = 2.93, SD = 3.14). Dependent-samples t-tests revealed that relative to their baselines, following concussion, athletes both reported significantly greater postconcussive symptoms and performed more poorly on measures of reaction time and computer-measured balance. Decrements in processing speed, visual acuity, and clinician-observed errors on tests of balance also trended toward significance. Results suggest that inclusion of measures of balance and oculomotor functioning in the assessment of concussion may provide additional clinical utility above and beyond domains typically measured by computerized concussion assessments.
C3Logix是一种计算机化的脑震荡评估工具，与其他计算机化测试组合相比，它能测量更广泛的症状（如平衡和动眼功能）。尽管各级体育组织越来越多地使用C3Logix，但尚未对其在脑震荡人群中的效用进行广泛研究。当前研究旨在确定C3Logix是否对脑震荡的影响敏感。一所大型南方大学的54名学生运动员在基线时以及疑似脑震荡后的数天内（平均=2.93，标准差=3.14）完成了C3Logix测试。相关样本t检验显示，与基线相比，脑震荡后，运动员报告的脑震荡后症状明显更多，并且在反应时间测量和计算机测量的平衡测试中表现更差。处理速度、视力的下降以及平衡测试中临床医生观察到的错误也有显著趋势。结果表明，在脑震荡评估中纳入平衡和动眼功能测量可能会提供超出计算机化脑震荡评估通常测量领域的额外临床效用。
