ImPACT™ Baseline & Post-Injury Testing
ImPACT™, (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing), is a computerized neurocognitive assessment tool that measures an individual's verbal and visual memory, processing speed, and reaction time. Once a Baseline test is done at the start of a season, post-injury testing can then be used to help determine whether or not the athlete has suffered a concussion, helping to limit the likelihood of long-term injury. While ImPACT™ can assist in making return-to-play decisions; it should never be used as a stand-alone tool or as a diagnostic instrument.
