What is ImPACT Testing?

ImPACT Testing is:

ImPACT is a 25 minute neurocognitive test battery that has been scientifically validated to measure the effects of sports -related concussion. In the pre-season, each athlete is given  a BASELINE TEST. If a concussion is suspected during the season, a follow-up test is administered to see if the results have changed from the baseline. Conducting baseline and post-injury neurocognitive testing using ImPACT help's to objectively evaluate an athlete's cognitive status to prevent cumulative effects of concussion.
