About ImPACT Testing

ImPACT baseline testing is a 20 minute neurocognitive test that has been scientifically validated to measure the effects of a sports-related concussion.  The baseline testing that takes place at the beginning of a season helps to better detect a concussion in the event of contact.  After contact to the head, the athlete will take the same test and the results are compared.
