What is ImPACT

ImPACT is a sophisticated, research-based computer test developed to help clinicians evaluate an athlete’s recovery following concussion.  ImPACT is a 20-minute neurocognitive test battery that has been scientifically validated to measure the effects of sports related concussion.  In the preseason, each athlete is given a baseline test.  And, when a concussion is suspected, during the season, a follow-up test is administered to see if the results have changed from the baseline.  This comparison helps to diagnose and manage the concussion.  Follow-up tests can be administered over days or weeks so clinicians can continue to track the athlete’s recovery from the injury.
 

 
Why use it?

ImPACT can help answer difficult questions about an athlete’s readiness to return to play, protecting them from the potentially serious consequences of returning too soon.  While traditional neurological and radiological procedures such as CT and MRI are helpful in identifying serious brain injuries (e.g., skull fractures, hematomas); they are ineffective at identifying the functional effects of concussion.  Consequently, clinicians must often rely on subjective observations or patient self-reports to diagnose and track a concussion.  This is where ImPACT can help.
