How We Assess and Test for Concussion
Your evaluation starts with a thorough symptom and history review covering your injury, current symptoms, and any relevant health background. From there, our team conducts a physical and neurological exam that looks at balance, coordination, eye movement, and neck function.
When appropriate a trusted computerized assessment that measures memory, attention, processing speed, and reaction time. This helps identify subtle changes in brain function that a standard exam might miss. If you have a prior baseline on file, we compare your results directly for a more accurate picture of where you stand.
What to Expect
A full concussion evaluation at our practice typically takes about 90 minutes and includes intake, the symptom questionnaire, physical and neurological exam, and computerized testing.
