Baseline & Post-Injury Concussion Testing
Using the program ImPACT, we conduct Baseline Testing prior to an injury as it provides a frame of reference for a child’s improvement after a concussion has occurred. In the event of a concussion during recreational activities, an accident, or sports, the same test is taken again, yielding comparative scores from before and after the injury. These baseline tests and post-injury tests are computerized assessments that measure Reaction Time, Memory Capacity, Speed of Mental Processing, and Executive Functioning of the brain. They also record baseline and measures of concussion symptoms over time and provide information about the athlete’s history with concussions. The tests are used in coordination with medical management of concussion treatment
We use ImPACT testing for ages 6 and up.
