By asking an individual to walk a short distance in front of a radar system while saying the months of the year in reverse order, researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute can determine if that person is impaired and possibly suffering from a concussion. This simple test, which could be performed on the sideline of a sporting event or on a battlefield, has the potential to help coaches and commanders decide if athletes and soldiers are ready to engage in activity again.
