Concussion Baseline Testing | Charlotte, North Carolina

What is a baseline concussion test? 

Multimodal pre-season testing is a series of physical and cognitive tests that provides a pre-injury overview of healthy brain function. These tests can offer healthcare practitioners an objective benchmark on which to compare should a patient sustain a concussion.

Should a concussion baseline consist of one computer test? 

No, current evidence has shown a concussion baseline should incorporate a cluster of different tests to fully determine the health state of an athlete.

It’s important to remember that not all baseline testing is created equal. CCMI has selected the best evidence-based tools available to provide you with comprehensive, multimodal, proven baseline testing.  

Why is it important to get a pre-season concussion baseline test?
