Test Section 1: Subject Profile and Health History Questionnaire

ImPACT requires the subject to input basic demographic and descriptive information through a series of easy to follow instructional screens. The subject inputs this information via a keyboard and utilizes an external mouse to navigate/select responses on the screen.

Many of the questions can be answered using "pull down" menus in the window. This section asks the subject to answer questions regarding height, weight, sport, position, concussion history, history of learning disabilities and other important descriptive information.

The subject is asked to input an ID number, which can be a student ID number, social security number or other assigned set of numbers. This provides unique identification of each subject within the user's database.

Once the demographic information recorded at the time of the first evaluation, subsequent evaluations do not require entry of this information as the computer automatically pulls up the original record.
