The Vestibular-Ocular Motor Screen (VOMS) is a validated tool that is used to assess symptom provocation with vestibular and ocular testing following sport-related concussion (SRC). It is unknown if the involvement of multiple domains on the VOMS effects time to return to play (RTP) following SRC.
Athletes who tested positive on >3 domains of the VOMS would take longer to RTP than athletes who tested positive on ≤3 domains of the VOMS.
Retrospective cohort study.
Level 3.
A total of 928 athletes were enrolled from a concussion clinic. The median VOMS score was used to divide these athletes into 2 groups, those who tested positive on ≤3 domains (LOW) and those who tested positive on >3 domains (HIGH). Independent -tests were used to assess for differences in time to RTP between groups. A simple linear regression was carried out to assess the influence of positive testing on the VOMS domains at the time of first evaluation on time to RTP.
Independent -tests demonstrated a significant difference in time to RTP between the LOW and HIGH groups, with the LOW group returning to play an average of 12.81 days sooner than the HIGH group. The simple linear regression showed that approximately 10.8% of the time to RTP after SRC could be explained by the number of domains that test positive at initial evaluation.
Athletes who test positive on >3 domains of the VOMS take longer to RTP than athletes who test positive on ≤3 domains of the VOMS at the time of initial evaluation.
The VOMS may be utilized to help determine which athletes may take longer to RTP based on the number of domains that are affected after SRC.
前庭 - 眼动筛查（VOMS）是一种经过验证的工具，用于在运动相关脑震荡（SRC）后通过前庭和眼动测试评估症状激发情况。VOMS多个领域的参与是否会影响SRC后恢复比赛（RTP）的时间尚不清楚。
在VOMS的3个以上领域测试呈阳性的运动员比在VOMS的3个及以下领域测试呈阳性的运动员RTP所需时间更长。
回顾性队列研究。
3级。
从一家脑震荡诊所招募了928名运动员。VOMS得分中位数用于将这些运动员分为两组，即那些在3个及以下领域测试呈阳性的（低分组）和那些在3个以上领域测试呈阳性的（高分组）。采用独立样本t检验评估两组之间RTP时间的差异。进行简单线性回归以评估首次评估时VOMS领域阳性测试对RTP时间的影响。
独立样本t检验显示低分组和高分组之间RTP时间存在显著差异，低分组比高分组平均早12.81天恢复比赛。简单线性回归表明，SRC后RTP时间的约10.8%可由初次评估时测试呈阳性的领域数量来解释。
在初次评估时，在VOMS的3个以上领域测试呈阳性的运动员比在VOMS的3个及以下领域测试呈阳性的运动员RTP所需时间更长。
VOMS可用于根据SRC后受影响的领域数量来帮助确定哪些运动员RTP可能需要更长时间。
