DETAILS

ImPact (Immediate Postconcussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) is a computer-based evaluation for sports concussions. It is recommended that baseline ImPact testing begin at the age of 10. These scores can help determine when an athlete is ready to return to normal activities. By receiving a pre-concussion test, a baseline cognitive function can be established. This baseline can be compared to a post-concussion test later if the athlete suffers a head injury.
