Sports Concussion Services
-
Multi-modal baseline testing – a series of tests to determine a baseline level for each athlete. These are then retested post-concussion and an athlete is only allowed to return to sports when the original scores are attained. At present, this is the safest way to know when it is safe to return to play.
-
