N2  - PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the potential for the Neurotracker, a perceptual-cognitive, multiple-object tracking test, and train paradigm, as a marker of functional recovery after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). It is hypothesized that Neurotracker could serve as a proxy for assessing cerebral functioning. RESEARCH DESIGN: A comparative, 6 time points, longitudinal study design was used to compare Neurotracker performance between children and adolescents who were clinically recovered from mTBI and healthy controls. <br><br>METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Clinical measures were collected at the initial and final visits. Neurotracker trainings were performed at each of the 6 visits. Speed thresholds (Neurotracker performance) were recorded at each visit. MAIN OUTCOMES AND RESULTS: A two-way repeated measures ANOVA suggested no differences between the groups but a significant time effect was apparent. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Clinically recovered children and adolescents exhibit similar training abilities to control subjects on this task. These results support further investigations using Neurotracker as a marker of recovery following mTBI.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
