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.
