Which Athletes are Recommended for Baseline Testing?

The ImPACT Team recommends the evidence-based guidelines below for determining which athletes should be given a baseline test. We recommend that Contact/Collision sport athletes receive a baseline, whereas NORMATIVE DATA can be used for all other injured athletes.

Below is an article that was published in the journal Pediatrics that outlines which athletes should be considered Contact/Collision versus Limited Contact versus Noncontact.
