4 Fig. 3 Composite Score means (top) and vestibular ratio means (bottom) on the NeuroCom Smart Balance Master for 36 concussed and 36 control subjects across test sessions (Preseason through day 5 after injury). Higher scores represent better performance. (From Guskiewicz KM, Ross SE, Marshall SW. Postural stability and neuropsychological deficits after concussion in collegiate athletes.
