ImPACT Baseline Testing is a computer based cognitive test that measures brain function. It is a tool used by doctors and athletic trainers to assist in determining the severity of a head injury, as well as a return to play timeline. Baseline testing is being used by professional sports teams, university programs and high schools across the country.
How does ImPACT Baseline Testing work?
At the beginning of the season, a healthy athlete will take the 45-minute computer-based test, proctored by a certified administer. The data collected is stored in the physician’s database, and this information gives a baseline of that particular athlete’s normal brain function. Should an athlete suffer a head injury, a follow-up test is performed, where a trained professional analyzes the results and compares it to the original baseline of the athlete.
