Baseline ImPACT® Testing: What it is, Who Needs it and Why it is Important Baseline ImPACT® testing is an important tool in the prevention of concussive consequences for our youth. ImPACT® stands for Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing. It is a test that measures memory, attention span, visual and verbal problem solving. ImPACT® has two primary uses: before the onset of an activity, a baseline test is conducted to measure the athlete’s performance baseline. In the event of an injury, a post-injury test is administered and compared to the baseline and/or normative data scores. Excela Health is offering baseline ImPACT® testing for kids 10-18 years of age in office or via telehealth for $25 now through August 27. Kids ages 5-9 can be tested in office for the same fee. Every test will be checked for validity by one of our experts, and results will be discussed with the athlete and/or parent. Contact us at 724-689-1070 to schedule a test. Learn More
