WHAT-Concussion baseline testing establishes a baseline of memory and reaction time that can be used to compare to the same test done after a concussion to assess an athlete’s recovery after a concussion or suspected concussion.  At Elite we use ImPACT software for our testing.  It is the most studied and valid test for concussion testing.  It is valid for ages 11 and up and is good for 2 years, meaning a baseline test only needs to be done every 24 months.

The test is not an aptitude or IQ test of any kind.  We like to tell kids it is a computer game with a series of memory games and reaction time tests on a computer using a mouse.
