  • Title: Measurement of reaction time following minor head injury.
    Author: MacFlynn G, Montgomery EA, Fenton GW, Rutherford W.
    Journal: J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry; 1984 Dec; 47(12):1326-31. PubMed ID: 6512553.
    Abstract:
    A four-choice reaction time test was carried out on 45 minor head injury cases, 24 hours after the injury and 6 weeks later. Twenty-eight subjects were re-tested after a six month interval. Reaction time measures were also obtained in a matched, general practice control group. The concussion cases displayed significantly poorer performances than the matched controls in four measures, at day 0 and at 6 weeks. The patients also showed serial improvement in these measures up to six months after the injury, when their scores excelled those of the matched controls.
