Concussion Baseline Testing

In addition to caring for athletes who have sustained a concussion, Inova Sports Medicine’s team provides a variety of concussion services beyond the traditional clinic setting that include:

1. Concussion baseline testing
2. Free concussion education for athletes, parents and coaches
3. Partnerships with youth and adult sport/recreation organizations

Concussion baseline testing is recommended for active individuals between the age of 5 and 59 years old. Although you or your child may not experience a concussion, it is important to prepare and obtain a baseline to establish individualized data which allows physicians to better manage concussion if it does occur. Generally, it is recommended that a concussion baseline be established prior to the season but baseline testing can be completed at any point during the season.

The Inova Sports Medicine Concussion Program provides concussion baseline testing for athletes age 5 to 59.
