Concussion Baseline Testing in Stratford

A baseline test is a snapshot of the systems we see most often affected by concussion taken before an injury occurs.  This point of reference is then used to make important medical decisions regarding your treatment plan, return to learning and return to play.

Post Injury Concussion Assessment

Our comprehensive testing for someone who has sustained a blow to the head helps medical professionals make more informed decisions regarding your condition.  We utilize a number of technologies in a 90 minute assessment that provides a number of markers to aid in diagnosis.  Having a baseline to compare to is helpful, but not imperative.

Concussion Rehabilitation in Stratford

A concussion is a injury that can range in severity from a persistent, but mild headache to severely affecting one's life.  Obtaining rehabilitation early in the process can help to establish the ideal recovery plan which may include progressive vision or vestibular exercises, supervised physical exercise or neck and spine treatment.

The confidence of knowing when you go to see Dan & getting the correct prognosis & rehab along with the personal support is something we cannot say enough about.

"Words cannot express how thankful we are to Dan and April for all their help during Sierra's recovery. Without MSPAR a bronze medal in Florida would not have been possible only six weeks after her concussion. Thank-you also for shining the light on some important issues, we otherwise would have never known." ~ Linda S

"Thanks Dan! Very thorough testing - progress reports every week that were forwarded to our doctor. Gave us a report for school as well, to help integrate Maggie back in to the classroom at the right pace. Highly recommend Dan and the services he provides at MSPAR." ~ Lorrie M

"Thanks, Dan! For looking after Austin's concussion the last few weeks and getting him back on the ice, but mostly for explaining the reasons for waiting until he was 100%. Big thanks also for fixing Jacob up quickly a few weeks ago, so he could get back on the ice without missing any games!" ~ Jodi H

MSPAR testing

At MSPAR we only choose the best, that's why we offer the same testing that is currently used in the NHL, MLB, NFL, NBA.  Through our certification with Shift Concussion Management, we are able to offer the ImPACT test to our clients.  This Neurocognitive test gives detailed measures of memory and reaction time.  We also utilize a barrage of other tests that help to measure balance, vision coordination and motor speed.  In post-injury testing, we may also measure heart rate, heart rate variability, vestibulo-ocular reflex and more.  All these measures help to re-inforce that the treatment plan is effective beyond just measuring symptoms.

Post-Concussion Rehabilitation

We utilize the University of Pittsburgh model of concussion management which categorizes the concussion based upon where the dysfunctions are.  This enables a specific treatment plan to be developed.  MSPAR is unique in collaborating with other medical professionals to ensure timely positive outcomes.  Your well-being is our paramount goal.  At MSPAR we specialize in vestibular therapy and returning to physical exertion.  Regardless of the treatment plan, our testing methods help ensure effectiveness.

If you've sustained a concussion, we hope that you will contact us to do an assessment quickly, as early intervention is a key to a speedy recovery.  In the meantime, don't hesitate to check out some general information on concussions.
