What is a Concussion?

A concussion can be simply defined as a disruption in neurological functioning following a significant impact to the head or elsewhere on the body. This causes an imbalance in molecules within the brain cells as well as an energy deficit (The energy molecule required for cell function is known as ATP). There has also been shown to be large reductions in blood flow to the brain immediately after concussive impact.

What is a baseline test?

Baseline testing is an important component to a comprehensive concussion management program. Baseline tests are given to athletes’ PRE-season to establish an individual athlete’s normal, pre-injury performance and to provide the most accurate and reliable benchmark against which post-injury assessments can be compared. This allows more appropriate decisions to be made regarding when the athlete has fully recovered and can return to play.
