Online Baseline
Assessment
There is no better feeling than to have
a quantifiable measure of an athlete's
baseline cognitive functioning. The
test is valid for 2-3 seasons.
Concussion results in several changes in
thinking and behavior that may not be
readily noticeable. An athlete who is
symptomatic
is much more likely to be re-injured if
he or she returns to the field of play
prematurely. Baseline testing is
available using the link below. There
is a fee for taking the baseline test.

ImPACT™
ImPACT™ (Immediate Post-concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) was developed over the past decade by sports concussion researchers Mark Lovell, Ph.D., Michael Collins, Ph.D., and Joseph Maroon, M.D. at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Sports Medicine Concussion Program. It is the first and most widely used computerized evaluation system to objectively assess the effects and severity of concussion and injury recovery progress and help determine
the management of the return to contact sports following a concussion.
