Description
Remote physical exams for workplace concussions are put through a trial run by Keely Barnes and co-authors in a 2024 feasibility study. Video-based assessment has clear value for injured workers far from clinics. What is missing is proof that remote physical measures stay sharp and repeatable.
The study tests whether recruitment, timing, and user acceptance can support a bigger trial. Early sensitivity of the remote exam is compared with hands-on exams. Scores repeated by the same and different raters gauge reliability. People with brain injuries and clinicians rate how acceptable the remote route feels. The dry run shapes procedures before money is spent on a full validation trial.
