Baseline concussion tests assess an athlete’s balance and brain function and are given to healthy athletes before physical activity begins. After a suspected concussion occurs another test may be done. The results are compared to measure the athlete's brain function before and after the injury. This helps sports medicine specialists improve concussion care and return-to-play decisions.
