Case Study:

Identifying Injury Risk with Prism Neuro Testing

A professional team used Prism Neuro testing in preseason to identify higher injury-risk players.

The Approach

Healthy, fit players completed Prism Neuro sensorimotor testing at preseason. Each athlete was assessed for 7 sensorimotor metrics and Left/Right symmetry then grouped according to potential injury risk:

  • Low Risk Group: 0–1 scores below normative values

  • High Risk Group: 2 or more scores below normative values

No training changes were made — this was a test of prediction, not prevention.
Athletes were otherwise healthy and fit, yet sensorimotor deficits were detected.

Athletes were monitored for time-loss injuries sustained during training or competition over the next 12 weeks.

The Outcome

Injury incidence: 61% of High Risk players sustained an injury, while only 20% of Low Risk players were injured.

Injury Distribution: Although the High Risk group represented a smaller number of players (42% of all players), they accounted for 71% of all recorded injuries.

Statistical analysis confirmed a significant association between High Risk grouping and increased injury likelihood (p < 0.05).

Key Takeaways
