Pre-Concussion Baseline Testing Link
A pre-concussion baseline test is a short online cognitive test that captures one’s mental reaction time and thinking skills before a concussion. It is best completed before an injury so that it can be done again after the concussion has healed to evaluate whether the player is back to pre-concussion mental ability. Below is a link to a neurologist that offers the simple online IMPACT test that can be done at home for $20. The Austin schools, both public and private including all AISD high schools, which already use this particular test are listed on the website. The website lists the following sports that are getting national encouragement for baseline testing: Football, Hockey, Figure Skating, Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Soccer, Rugby, Basketball, Baseball, Softball, Diving, Gymnastics, Cheerleading, Horseback Riding, Skateboarding, and Snow Skiing. Not to mention any type of moving vehicle accident. The board is offering the following link as a convenience because a board member used them last year. However, any baseline of your choice will be a nice thing to have for peace of mind. www.sportssafect.com
