Pre-injury Baseline Testing

Pre-injury Baseline Testing

Protect Your Brain Health with Baseline Testing

 

What is a Baseline Test?
A baseline test is a pre-injury assessment of your cognitive and physical functions. It creates a personalised profile of your brain’s normal performance, giving concussion professionals a clear comparison point if you ever experience a head injury.

Why It Matters
Concussions affect everyone differently — symptoms like dizziness, headaches, memory issues, or slowed reaction times vary greatly. Baseline testing compares you to yourself, not to general averages, ensuring a far more accurate recovery assessment.

Feeling Better ≠ Full Recovery
Symptoms may disappear before the brain has fully healed. Returning to activity too soon increases the risk of long-term complications. Baseline testing provides objective data to confirm true recovery, helping you return safely to work, sport, and daily life.

Who Should Get Tested?

  • Athletes in contact sports (rugby, soccer, hockey, etc.)

  • Workers in high-risk industries

  • Anyone active in daily life — many concussions happen at home with approximately 70% caused by falls

  • Children aged 12 and older

What’s Involved?

In just 20–30 minutes, we assess:

  • Medical, learning, and concussion history

  • Memory, reaction time, attention, and processing speed

  • Balance, coordination, and postural control

  • Brain performance using DANA neurocognitive testing via the Concussion Tracker app
