With the increasing awareness of the seriousness of concussions,
many schools are mandating baseline ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion
Assessment and Cognitive Testing) testing. Please see article.

Although most concussions are not life-threatening, they can cause short
and long term problems and SIS (Second Impact Syndrome) can lead to very
dangerous outcomes, including death. Saje Corp. along with the National Dizzy and Balance Center (NDBC) would like to offer our services to anyone age 10 and older to take the baseline ImPACT test. We will ensure that every one of your baseline tests are valid and that they are evaluated by qualified professionals. The ImPACT test measures: attention span, working memory, attention time, reaction time and problem solving. By comparing pre and post concussion scores a doctor is able to determine if an athlete can safely return to their sport.
Please contact Stacey at (651) 336-7466 if you have any questions or would like to register for the test.
