For the past few years the term concussion has been a buzz word throughout the sports world gaining much attention. While concussions are not new to sports - how we identify, treat and manage them has changed dramatically. ImPact Concussion testing is an online testing program that tests an athletes memory and reaction time.
ImPACT Concussion Testing is now available for all EPRU athletes! The first test in the series is a Baseline Test that will establish a baseline score for the athlete that can be used for future reference if the athlete has sustained a head injury and to determine the extent of the injury. The second test in the ImPact series is the Post Injury Follow Up which is completed only if the athlete is suspected of having sustained a head injury.
Get an online Baseline Test for only $8.00
To register for testing please visit the Tryod website. After signing up, you will receive a follow up email with a passcode and directions for accessing the test.
All athletes are encouraged to play an active role in protecting themselves from the dangers of returning to play too early following a concussion. The Impact Concussion Baseline Testing is the first step in that process.
All tests are reviewed by Dr. Rob Cabry, MD a credentialed ImPact consultant.
ImPact Baseline: $8.00
Post Injury Follow Up: $43.00

Reminder: If you suspect an athlete has sustained a possible head injury, remove them from play/practice and refer them to a doctor for medical evaluation. Any athlete who has sustained a concussion must be cleared by a doctor to return to play. All concussions must be reported to the epru at rugby@tryod.com
