Quickly recognize impaired eye movements on the sidelines with King-Devick Test.
What is the King-Devick Test?
The King-Devick Test is a two-minute rapid number naming assessment in which an individual quickly reads aloud single digit numbers and evaluates impairments of eye movements, attention and language function (Concussion, The King-Devick test of rapid number naming for concussion detection: meta-analysis and systematic review of the literature, 2016).*
Eye Movements and Concussion Testing
Peer-reviewed research has shown that adding a vision-based performance measure to cognitive and balance testing enhances the detection capabilities of current sideline concussion assessment (Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, Adding Vision to Concussion Testing: A Prospective Study of Sideline Testing in Youth and Collegiate Athletes 2015).* The K-D Test is a recommended component of the Concussion Check Protocol.High Sensitivity & Specificity
A recent meta-analysis found King-Devick Test to be both sensitive (86%) and specific (90%) for the detection of concussion. Any worsening of King-Devick Test from baseline indicated a five-times greater likelihood of concussion (Concussion, The King-Devick test of rapid number naming for concussion detection: meta-analysis and systematic review of the literature, 2016).**King-Devick Test has FDA pre-amendment certification for the assessment of saccadic eye movements. K-D Balance is FDA 510(k) cleared as a balance assessment tool. Some off-label uses of devices described in the peer-reviewed scientific research have not been cleared by FDA.

How K-D Test Works
At the beginning of the season, establish a K-D Baseline on your iPad or Android tablet. Use the King-Devick Test App to assess your athlete right from the sidelines or at home. According to peer-reviewed studies, a worse sideline test indicates worsening saccadic eye movement function, which can be a common symptom of concussion (Concussion, The King-Devick test of rapid number naming for concussion detection: meta-analysis and systematic review of the literature, 2016).*

Important Safety Information
- King-Devick Test is for assessment purposes only and any suspicion or indication of concussion should be evaluated by a licensed professional.
- Research has shown the King-Devick Test to be additive to other sideline concussion assessments such as balance and cognition (Neurology Clinical Practice, Vision Testing is Additive to the Sideline Assessment of Sports-Related Concussion, 2014).
- King-Devick Test not intended for subjects younger than 5 years old (Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, Adding Vision to Concussion Testing: A Prospective Study of Sideline Testing in Youth and Collegiate Athletes, 2015).
- According to the CDC, if any of the following concussion symptoms are present, call 911 or take the athlete to the emergency room: one pupil larger than the other, drowsiness or inability to wake up, worsening headache, slurred speech, weakness, numbness, decreased coordination, repeated vomiting, seizures, convulsions, increased confusion or irritability, neck pain, or loss of consciousness (Read more).
