Understanding
Baseline Concussion Testing:
Back in Action is a CCMI-certified clinic providing baseline concussion testing
Concussion baseline testing is a series of tests that can provide an overview of healthy brain function before a concussion injury. These tests can offer healthcare practitioners with an objective benchmark on which to compare should an athlete sustain a concussion.
Back in Action's baseline test is a comprehensive, multimodal series of physical and cognitive tests designed to measure more than 10 major areas of brain function.
Other organizations may use a single test or a small group of tests whereas we use a variety of tests, which offer more objective insights, data, and improved accuracy and reliability.
Is multimodal baseline testing reliable?
Not all baseline tests are the same. If you’re not testing it, you’re missing it.
Our comprehensive, multimodal concussion baseline test measures multiple areas of brain function that are commonly impacted following a concussion, and evaluates various facets of concussion injuries including memory, concentration, visual processing, reaction time, visual movements, balance, motor strength, and neurocognitive testing. Each test has established their own reliability and efficacy within published research, and have shown to have improved reliability when used in combination.
Although not required for all athletes, several leading sports and public health organizations including the NCAA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine, recommend and/or recognize the benefits of baseline testing for athletes in high-risk sports. Similar sentiment is included in the international Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport, which is recognized as the most current evidence to provide guidelines on the prevention, recognition, assessment, and management of sport-related concussion.
