Baseline Testing in Irvine CA

Multimodal pre-season testing (AKA Baseline Concussion Testing) is a series of physical and cognitive tests that provide a pre-injury overview of healthy brain function. In other words, we test your balance, your reaction time, your memory, your visual tracking speed, and a whole bunch of other brain functions. This gives us a map of how your brain functions when you are healthy.

If you sustain a concussion in Irvine CA, we can use your pre-injury results to see not only where the deficits are, but how much deficit exists. This can help us both with our treatment strategy and with developing a better understanding of when you're brain has recovered and you are safe to return to your sport.

• Symptom Scoring
• Full Medical History
• Orientation Testing
• Auditory Memory
• Concentration
• Visual Tracking And Processing Speed
• Balance Testing
• Computerized Posturography
• Reaction Time
• Delayed Recall
• Neurocognitive Testing
