Abstract

Objective

Burkhart and colleagues (2020) showed that positive screening on the Vestibular Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) and slower C3 Logix Trails (C3LT) were predictive of protracted recovery in female adolescents. The purpose of this study was to see if there was a relationship between positive screening on the VOMS and slower C3LT times in a similar population.

Method

220 females aged 10–18 were administered the VOMS and C3LT between 2017–2019. We hypothesized that positive screening on the VOMS (i.e. symptom provocation of +2, convergence of > 6 mm) would be related to slower speeds on C3LT A and B. Odds ratios were calculated to estimate the likelihood of screening positive on the VOMS based on C3LT times.

Results

Slower times on C3LT A and B, one to two standard deviations (SD) above the mean, was not related to a positive screening on the VOMS. However, performing a faster C3LT A time, one SD below the mean, was 68% less likely to screen positively on the VOMS (OR = 0.32, 95%CI = 0.16–0.62, p = 0.001) compared to those not 1 SD below the mean.

Conclusions

Though C3LT has a visual scanning component, positive screening on the VOMS was not related to slower processing speeds on the C3LT in females age 10–18.
