ImPACT Testing is a type of neurocognitive assessment used primarily to evaluate athletes for potential concussions. It measures various cognitive functions, including memory, attention, and reaction time. The test is typically administered before the sports season begins, providing a baseline for comparison if a concussion is suspected later. If an athlete shows signs of a concussion, they can retake the ImPACT Test to assess any changes in their cognitive abilities. The results help medical professionals make informed decisions about when it is safe for the athlete to return to play, ensuring their health and safety.
