All athletes at risk for sports-related concussions are encouraged to participate in the ImPACT Concussion Management Program at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital. The ImPACT program is a research-based, scientifically proven method of concussion management that allows an athlete to return to competition safely and in a timely manner after they sustain a concussion.
Athletes who choose to become involved in the program will take a neurological test before a concussion occurs, and these results can then be compared to post-concussion tests to map the progress of rehabilitation. The benefits can be life-changing.
