Concussions

A Concussion is a form of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) that is caused by a direct blow to the head, face, neck, or elsewhere on the body with an "impulsive" force transmitted to the head. Such a blow affects the workings of the brain through:

• The presence of rapid-onset, post-concussive symptoms
• A deterioration of Balance and Coordination
• A deterioration of Cognitive Functioning

and typically reveals normal imaging studies (i.e. MRI, CT Scan, etc...) with the aforementioned symptoms usually alleviating progressively.

ImPACT Testing is a 20 minute computerized neurocognitive test that tests for memory, processing and reaction time, concentration, and non-verbal problem solving. Combined with a clinical evaluation from a healthcare professional trained in the evaluation and management of concussions, the ImPACT Test is the gold standard for concussions management for all levels of competition around the United States.

For more information about the ImPACT Test, or to schedule either a pre-session baseline exam, or a post concussion exam, contact the office of Dr. Troy Glaser at (918) 394- CSOS.
