Safety & Concussions

Concussion Awareness

What is a concussion? Facts from USA football and the CDC

There’s no doubt about it: sports are a great way for kids and
teens to stay healthy while learning important team-building
skills. But there are risks to pushing the limits of speed,
strength, and endurance. And athletes who push the limits
sometimes don’t recognize their own limitations—especially
when they’ve had a concussion.

North Memorial Offers Special Concussion Baseline Testing

How does it work?
  • With parental permission, an individual participates in a 30-minute computer-based assessment to develop his or her baseline neurocognitive report.
  • The report will be saved for one year in North Memorial’s database (We recommend young individuals be screened every year due to the unique cognitive development of adolescents.). In the event that an individual sustains a concussion, the baseline report can be made available to any school or health careprofessional who participates in that individual’s care and recovery.
  • Ideally, the ImPACT assessment would be administered a second time (post-injury). Results are then compared to the first assessment to help determine the presence and extent of any neurocognitive deficits.

Baseline testing is completed the last Wednesday of the month.

Cost is $5.00
Players must be 10yrs old or older.

 

This testing is open to ***ALL athletes*** not just youth football.
