CONCUSSION Q & A
What does Concussion Treatment and Management Services include?
ProPeak Sport Medicine is proud to use ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing). Dr. Weber-Lopez is clinically trained and certified to administer ImPACT testing. We provide concussion management services to all area high schools and colleges that we partner with through community outreach programs; in-turn helping athletes safely return to sport after a concussion.
We offer baseline testing to any teams/organization and individual who are interested in this service.
-
Pre-injury baseline testing: These tests are administered before the beginning of a sports season, employment period, school year or any other necessary activity. The idea here is to get a baseline score when there are no concussion symptoms present, so that physicians can determine a course of action should an injury occur.
-
Computerized testing
-
Post-injury baseline testing: This test is administered when a concussion is suspected. Results from this test are compared to the baseline score as part of a physician’s assessment of injury and used to assess balance, memory, concentration and vision.
​
Fast, easy, and accurate, the information gained from the tests provides trained clinicians with neurocognitive assessment tools as part of determining safe return-to-play or return-to-work plans of action.
