Spectrum Therapeutics Adds VOMS Testing to 6-Domain Concussion Protocol

Wayne NJ Clinic Integrates VOMS Testing and Six-Domain Model After Research Finds 75% Symptom Gap

Wayne, United States – May 12, 2026 / Spectrum Therapeutics of NJ – Physical Therapy /

Peer-reviewed research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine and the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy indicates that single-domain concussion treatment leaves approximately 75% of post-concussion symptoms unaddressed. In response to these findings, Spectrum Therapeutics of NJ, a physical therapy practice in Wayne, New Jersey, has expanded its clinical protocol to deliver a structured six-domain concussion care model designed to identify and treat the full spectrum of post-concussion presentations.

Research Identifies Critical Gaps in Single-Domain Treatment

The peer-reviewed studies identify six distinct clinical domains affected by concussion: cognitive, vestibular, oculomotor, cervical, autonomic, and emotional. When care focuses on only one domain – typically rest or cognitive load management – the remaining five areas go unexamined and untreated. The research concludes that this fragmented approach is a primary driver of prolonged recovery and persistent symptoms in patients diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome.

“The data from these two peer-reviewed journals made it clear that a single-domain approach was insufficient for the patients we see,” said Dr. [Clinician Name], Director of Rehabilitation at Spectrum Therapeutics of NJ. “Our updated protocol now evaluates all six domains at intake, which means we are catching vestibular and oculomotor dysfunction that would have gone undetected under a standard one-domain model – and those two domains alone account for a significant portion of the unresolved symptoms reported in the research.”

VOMS Testing and Vestibular Therapy Added to Clinical Protocol

A central component of the updated approach is the Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) testing now available at the Wayne facility. VOMS testing Wayne NJ patients through this tool enables clinicians to detect vestibular and oculomotor deficits that standard neurological screenings routinely miss. Results from the screening directly shape the course of vestibular concussion therapy, which targets inner ear and visual-motor dysfunction commonly linked to dizziness, balance impairment, and headaches following head injury.

Six-Domain Model Applied Across Concussion Physical Therapy NJ Services

Patients pursuing concussion physical therapy NJ at Spectrum Therapeutics of NJ are evaluated across all six clinical domains beginning at the first appointment. Each post-concussion treatment plan is individualized based on which domains show active involvement, rather than applying a uniform protocol to every case. Cervical spine dysfunction, autonomic dysregulation, and emotional health factors are each screened and addressed as separate but interrelated components of recovery. This structure reflects the methodology outlined in the peer-reviewed literature and allows post-concussion syndrome Wayne NJ patients to receive care that accounts for the documented complexity of the condition.
