      • Any tests that appear with a red or yellow number means the test is either currently expired or will soon expire.
      • If your 2023-2024 high school student-athlete does not have a test with a green icon, they will need to complete a baseline concussion testing session.
      • What is the baseline concussion test for? The baseline concussion test is an individualized analysis of a student-athlete’s neurocognitive brain function in a healthy state. In the event that a student-athlete sustains a head injury, this analysis will be used as a normal, baseline value to compare to the post-injury test value to help determine which, if any, neurocognitive functions are impaired by the injury. The concussion vital signs test is not considered a diagnostic tool, but is used in the evaluation and management process for concussions. Why is the baseline test only valid for two years? Because brains in high school develop at such a quick rate it is recommended that athletes be tested every two years to ensure that the baseline test reflects where the brain is currently functioning.
