Abstract
"Yearly, more than 1 million concussions are diagnosed in the United States. Although there are many cognitive tests that are beneficial for concussion diagnosis, there is no single test that claims it can diagnose concussions with a high degree of confidence. Moreover, because a diagnosis of concussion often comes with a prescribed moratorium on driving, concussed patients are also motivated to know when they are ready to be cleared to drive again. Lacking accurate diagnosis tests for concussions, physicians often have to rely on subjective assessments to decide when it is acceptable for a patient to resume driving."
