#4 - What is baseline testing?

More people, athletes and non-athletes alike, are starting to use baseline concussion tests to be proactive about their brain health. Not quite sure what it is? Baseline cognitive testing measures your brain function in a healthy state. If you ever get a concussion, doctors can use a post-injury test as a comparison to your baseline to help determine the treatment you’ll need.

Baseline testing is important because the best comparison of a patient’s cognitive status is to themselves in a healthy state. That’s where the baseline test comes in. Without a baseline, healthcare providers have to rely on guesswork of where your functioning should be.

The good news is that we’ve recently launched BaselineTesting.com, where you and your loved ones can take a baseline test online, at home, for only $20. The test takes about 20 minutes to complete. Afterwards, you can rest assured that if you ever have a concussion, your doctor will have a good idea of what your ‘normal’ is. They can help you get back to your ‘normal’ using targeted treatment and rehabilitation.
