Concussion Baseline Testing Melbourne

Concussion Baseline Testing

Protect Your Players. Protect Your Club.

Baseline concussion testing with a qualified physiotherapist gives your players the best chance of safe recovery and return-to-play after a head injury.

    What is Baseline Concussion Testing?

    Baseline testing measures an athlete’s normal brain function before the season begins. It’s a comprehensive evaluation that includes:
    • Symptom tracking
    • Balance
    • Reaction time
    • Impulse control
    • Memory
    If a player sustains a head knock, these results give medical professionals an accurate benchmark to compare against – a measure of the ‘normal’ brain function for each individual player. This makes it easier to detect minor changes and guide recovery safely. We cannot rely on symptoms alone.
