TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Functional assessment of concussion tool application in a pediatric concussion clinic JO - WMJ (Wisconsin medical journal) A1 - Lumetta, Katherine A1 - Halama, Sam A1 - Fehr, Shayne A1 - Apps, Jennifer A1 - Thomas, Danny SP - 191 EP - 195 VL - 122 IS - 3 N2 - BACKGROUND: Traditional concussion symptom scales do not assess function. We piloted a mobile app-based assessment that aims to measure the functional impact of symptoms.

METHODS: Patients with concussion completed the Functional Assessment of Concussion Tool and traditional symptom scales postinjury.

RESULTS: Linear regression assessed the predictive value of the Functional Assessment of Concussion Tool symptom number and function rating compared to scores on 2 traditional symptom scales across 4 symptom domains. The mobile app symptom number predicted scores on traditional symptom scales across domains. The rating score predicted traditional scale scores in 2 domains. The mobile health tool did not predict recovery.

DISCUSSION: This mobile health concussion symptom assessment may measure the functional impact of symptoms, though further study is needed.
