About ImPACT

ImPACT is a 20-30 minute computer test developed to help sports-medicine clinicians evaluate multiple aspects of neurocognitive functioning following concussion.  You are taking a baseline test.  In the event you suffer a head injury, we may use this as a tool in deciding when it is safe for you to return to your sport.
