Popis: Purpose: To quantify differences in nonlinear aspects of performance on a seated visual-motor tracking task between clinically asymptomatic males and females with and without a self-reported mild traumatic brain injury history. Methods: Seventy-three individuals with a self-reported concussion history (age: 21.40 ± 2.25 years, mean ± SD) and 75 without completed the visual-motor tracking task (age: 21.50 ± 2.00 years). Participants pressed an index finger against a force sensor, tracing a line across a computer screen (visual-motor tracking). The produced signal's root-mean-square error (RMSE), sample entropy (SampEn, a measure of regularity), and average power (AvP) between 0 and 12 Hz were calculated. Results: Males with a history of 0 or 1 concussion had greater RMSE (worse performance) than females with 0 (p
