<br />
On April 25th, Dr. Fitzgerald and crew will be hosting an ImPACT webinar for Optometrist that are looking to add ImPACT as a tool for their concussion management within their practice. For more information, please email Dr. Fitzgerald at drfitz4eyes@hotmail.com and she will send you additional information and pricing for attendance.<br />
<br />
Hope to see you there,<br />

2020 is your year.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is having a wonderful beginning to the year.<br />
As with all New Year's resolutions--mine is to log on often to the blog and share pertinent information. I hope that you will email in questions, so as to keep it relevant to what you need.<br />
<br />
With that said let's get started.<br />
<br />
Remember for concussion diagnosis management and treatment.<br />
We start with suspicion of injury and symptom and symptom provocation.<br />
<br />
On the website in the documents category you will find the Post concussion symptom survey.(PCSS)<br />
We start by having the student athlete/patient fill out the symptom survey to do self-reporting symptoms. From there you do your testing. Both structure to rule out blow out fracture, iritis, detached retina. To function--remember it is not about visual acuity if it is a functional problem--it is about receded NPC(near point of convergence).<br />
<br />
A high amount of people have a receded NPC, decreased accommodation--why they are spatial.<br />
They do not know where they are in space--they do not know where heir head is in space--it is alway vision-vestibular. We can not separate out the vision from the vestibular.<br />
We did 249 concussions on RightEye--the ratio was 10 to 1 to 1. RightEye showed that the student athlete was 10 times more probable to have a parietal/cerebellum affect then frontal/cerebellum to brainstem!!<br />
That is an important piece of information--start in the periphery--compression--It's spatial!!<br />
<br />
It is NPC not VA.<br />
<br />
Keep tuned in for more and ask questions.<br />
warm regards<br />
