SWAY TEST CODE: V26P4
Hello Parents,
Coach DeBey, Coach Gagnon and I are ready to get the season started next week. First, we will need to run baseline concussion testing on their phones before game one. Attached below are detailed instructions in order to run the test successfully. Please e-mail me if you have any questions, if any errors occur their testing, please have them try once more, then if no avail, have them exit out of the test and they will re-do with me on Monday (4/28)
STEPS TO PERFORM SWAY:
Download the SWAY Medical App from app store (blue background with white lines)
Once downloaded, turn off their phone for 10 seconds and then turn back on
Take off phone case, turn phone on Do Not Disturb and brightness up
Please go into a quiet room with minimal to no distractions
Open up the app, DO NOT input e-mail/password, at the bottom of the screen ENTER THIS CODE: V26P4
Start the test from the top and work their way through the steps. If they do not currently have a concussion (they cannot take the test if so) they will put zero symptoms. ALWAYS hit "continue" or next".
Please enter their demographics, ht./wt. graduation (H.S.) year, etc.
The app will have your phone do a HARDWARE VERIFICATION, place the phone screen face up on the ground and click "run hardware verification", once done, pick the phone up and start test.
All test will have a practice test and an actual test, they will NOT know which is which, please have them just keep hitting "next" or continue"
Begin the balance test (place phone on chest and read the directions carefully). This is the first of a series of test.
There will be a test to gauge reaction time. This test is prone to errors if not done correctly. Have them face the screen directly at their face and when they see the color change, have then quickly (not aggressively) flick their screen towards the ceiling and then quickly return to the start position. They should hold their phone with their fingers on the side of their phone. Once they are done with the entire test, they may completely exit the app.
Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks,
