Concussion testing
VOMs – Vestibular Oculomotor Screening Battery
Overview
The Vestibular Oculomotor Screening (VOMs) Battery is a widely used assessment to evaluate the function of the vestibular and oculomotor systems in concussion cases. This test involves tracking eye movement in different directions, smooth pursuit exercises, and gaze stabilization tasks to identify potential impairments in visual-motor function. It is particularly useful for identifying concussions that impact balance and vision.
Benefits
- Detects vestibular and oculomotor dysfunction post-injury
- Assesses visual stability during movement
- Helps identify dizziness and balance impairments
- Provides objective data for concussion recovery
