ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing)
is the first computerized evaluation system to help determine concussion severity, as well as if and when it is safe for an athlete to return to contact sports.

At the start of the season, each athlete is given a computerized, neuropsychological test to establish a baseline or normal record of their cognitive function attention, memory, reaction time and visual processing speed. In the event of a concussion, the athlete is retested and the results are compared to their original readings. Injured athletes are not returned to play until they again meet their baseline test score, reducing the potential for further injury.
