CONCUSSION PROTOCOL - EYE TRACKING

Pre-Routine Notes

⏱️ 20 min⚡ Equipment: Power Puck

📝 Eye Tracking: Phase 1 focuses on training the eyes to move accurately and efficiently. This routine targets the visual system’s ability to track objects, shift focus, and maintain visual clarity.

🔄This routine improves eye control, reaction time, and visual awareness, which are crucial for returning safely to hockey after a concussion. Players learn to strengthen visual tracking, reduce eye strain, and improve coordination between their eyes, brain, and body.

⚠️ Precautions
Stop and take a break if you’re feeling dizzy or lightheaded. Resume only when symptoms resolve. You may also notice balance challenges with your eye movements. This is normal and demonstrates how your vision and balance are connected.
