ImPACT Applications: Baseline Test Credit

Neurocognitive testing is the “cornerstone” of modern concussion management. It gives healthcare providers objective data to evaluate a patient’s post-injury condition and aids in tracking recovery for safe return to activity. ImPACT is a 20-minute test developed for ages 12 to 80 and delivered via a secure web portal. It produces a clinical report of test results to assist healthcare providers with record keeping.

ImPACT baseline testing is a computerised neurocognitive test that can be used to measure brain function prior to head injury - baseline neurocognitive testing allows you to document the healthy brain function of an uninjured test taker. If the individual is an athlete, baseline testing should be completed prior to an athletic season, including practices. If a head injury occurs, healthcare providers will compare the baseline test results to those from a post-injury test. Differences in scores give healthcare providers insight into the specific deficits an individual is experiencing after a concussion and helps them create tailored treatment plans.

ImPACT baseline testing assesses an individual’s visual and verbal memory, reaction time, and processing speed before a head injury.

Benefits of ImPACT baseline testing:

• Individuals receive more personalised and tailored care because the healthcare provider is comparing their progress to their own “normal”.
• Healthcare providers have more objective information that helps them make more informed decisions throughout a patient’s recovery.
• Schools administering baseline testing as part of a comprehensive concussion protocol are giving students the best chance at a successful recovery.
