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.
