How often do you administer the ImPACT test during an athletes injury?
I evaluate the athlete within 72 hours of injury and then at weekly intervals, until they are asymptomatic at rest, asymptomatic with exertion, and all normal on ImPACT (return to play criteria). For those who take a long time to recover, this time interval can be extended. If the case is milder, I might evaluate them a few times within the first week. ou should never test more than twice in a week.
