Abstract
A system and method for neurological testing involves prompting a subject or user to engage in body and head movements, measuring physical response, and then using the measured response to evaluate the neurological condition of the subject. The subject may wear a head-mounted display, for example, to aid in prompting the head and/or body movements. The subject may be prompted to engage in movements simulating a real-world task, such as a sports-specific activity. Results may be compared with those of a baseline test. The evaluation may be used to aid in determining if the user or subject can return to the task, for example to return to activity in a sport during which the user sustained a possible neurological injury.
Claims20
A method of neurological evaluation a person, the method comprising:
- providing the person with a wearable display and at least one body movement sensor;
- prompting physical movement of the person, including prompting physical movement of a head of the person;
- during the prompting physical movement, updating a view in the wearable display, based on movement of the head of the person;
- measuring movement of the person by tracking physical location of the at least one body movement sensor;
- and
- evaluating a neurological condition of the person, based at least in part on measured movement of the at least one body movement sensor.
