CONCUSSION INFORMATION
Due to the recent breakthroughs in concussion identification and management it is being recommended by many experts in the field, that all athletes from every sport, at all levels of participation get a base line concussion test performed. Presently at Western only those athletes in the identified six high risk sports (Football, M&W Rugby, M&W hockey, and Wrestling) get these done. It is being recommended that all of our varsity athletes get this baseline testing done, as a preventative measure prior to their participation in their sport. If you have already done a computerized baseline test in the past (e.g. Impact) then there is no need for you to redo this test.
