Baseline testing, as the name implies, provides a baseline series of responses to both cognitive and physical tests that are taken before the athlete’s contact sports season begins. These responses can then be compared to those taken from similar baseline tests conducted after the athlete is suspected to have sustained a concussion.
We use ImPACT Baseline Testing at Orthopedic Associates of Long Island. Because of our relationship with so many school districts, we often times have access to your child’s baseline testing which we can then compare to testing done in the office. ImPACT testing is validated for ages 12 and up. We also offer baseline testing in our office for those that do not have baselines done with their school or sport.
