"What we learn from our military work will be valuable across the spectrum of head trauma, including injuries from motor vehicle, workplace and sports accidents," Kiderman added. "We're bringing new and exceptionally accurate technologies to help deal with the challenges of assessing and treating brain injuries."
Kiderman noted that NKI will publish a unique case study of a patient's pre- and post-accident brain function later this year. The study stems from the unusual circumstance of an NKI employee who suffered brain injuries in a bicycle accident, giving Kiderman and other NKI researchers the ability to compare pre-accident normative data (collected from the employee as part of routine product testing) with post-accident brain functioning.
"The research is promising," Kiderman said. "It appears that the battery of tests in our NOTC system can detect traumatic brain injuries even when an MRI and radiographic studies fail to show damage."
NKI's NOTC incorporates all ocular motor tests, as well as other motion tests that utilize a Barany (rotational) chair to evaluate the neuro-otologic system. The NOTC features a smooth, patented motor design, advanced analytics in its VEST(TM) software and the company's patent-pending, high-speed I-Portal(R) VOG (video oculography) eye tracking system.
Audiologists, neurologists, neuro-otologists, ophthalmologists,
otolaryngologists and other medical specialists use NKI's devices to
evaluate and analyze neurologic, otologic and vestibular conditions in
order to improve diagnoses and develop treatment plans.
