ImPACT™ Testing at St. Elizabeth Sports Medicine

At St. Elizabeth Sports Medicine, we pair computer-based ImPACT™ testing with objective balance assessment and traditional tests, when needed. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools combined with the expertise of our highly trained physicians help ensure more accurate diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of the region’s student athletes. Working with the area’s high schools and universities, we treated 400 new cases of concussion last year alone.

What is ImPACT™ testing?

ImPACT™ testing uses a computer to determine an athlete’s normal brain function. It measures the mental changes that occur when an athlete sustains a concussion.

An ImPACT™ test measures variables several variables, including:

  • Attention span
  • Working memory
  • Sustained attention span
  • Selective attention span
  • Response variability
  • Non-verbal problem solving
  • Reaction time

ImPACT™ testing takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. The test can be administered as a baseline in the pre-season or as a way to help determine if a student athlete is ready to return to play after a concussion is diagnosed. Results from the test can be compared to the athlete’s pre-concussion baseline, if available, or against other athletes of the same gender and age through a national databank. 

The ImPACT™ Team at St. Elizabeth Healthcare

Our ImPACT™ testing team includes:

Dr. Michael Miller, Credentialed ImPACT™ Consultant

Our Community Partnerships

St. Elizabeth Healthcare Sports Medicine has been serving the needs of Northern Kentucky’s student athletes since 1988. We began providing ImPACT™ testing in the summer of 2010. Since then, our community partnerships have increased to include:

  • The region’s high schools 
  • Thomas More University

We take our commitment to the region’s student athletes seriously. ImPACT™ testing can help take the guesswork out of concussion management and provide the knowledge needed to move forward safely with diagnosis, treatment and a return-to-play timeframe.
