ImPACT Test

The ImPACT Test, or Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing, is a standardized tool used to assess an individual's cognitive abilities, particularly after a head injury. It evaluates areas such as memory, attention, and reaction time through a series of computer-based tasks. Typically used for athletes, the test helps healthcare professionals determine if it's safe for someone to return to sports or activities after a concussion. By comparing results before and after an injury, it provides valuable insights into cognitive recovery and helps inform decisions about treatment and safety.
