Re: Online Baseline Concussion Test For the Curious
You're all right, not like the old days, which to me is great. My son plays High School football, before the season started all the players took a concussion test (probably very similar to the one posted here). Well, needless to say he ended up getting a concussion. He ended up missing two weeks (and this was only a mild concussion). He took the test again about 1 week in and didn't come close to passing (by passing, they compare your score to the pre-season test score and you have to match it). Then about 10 days after the injury he was symptom free so the trainer had him do conditioning runs etc and took the test again and passed. After that he was finally cleared.
So yeah, a little different then "What's your name?" and "What team are we playing?". Anyway, as a Dad I'm very happy they now do this for high school athletes (my daughter played Freshmen soccer had to take the same test).
