VI. Concussion Baseline Testing: State law requires that coaches and trainers remove anyone suspected of having a concussion from athletic activity of any type. To return to play, the athlete must be assessed by a medical professional trained in concussion management. For Minneapolis students, the athletic trainer at your school must be involved in the post-concussion management and your return to play protocol. One of the tools that physicians and athletic trainers utilize to assess whether someone is healthy to begin the return to play protocol is an online cognitive test called the Impact Concussion Baseline Test. Athletes take this test when the brain is healthy and alert. Following a concussion and after the athlete’s concussion symptoms have resolved, the trainer may ask you to retake the Impact Concussion Baseline Test. The trainer can then compare your post-concussion test results to your baseline test results and determine if you are still suffering any cognitive deficits. Even though your symptoms have gone away and you feel healed, your brain may still be injured. You do not want to suffer a second concussion when your brain is still healing from the first. So, the baseline test is designed to give health professionals one more tool to assess how well your brain has healed following a concussion. Who needs to take the test? Anyone who is skiing with MAST for the first time and has not taken the test for another sport during the 2024-25 school year or this Fall. You should plan on doing a baseline test every 2 years for MAST. Where can I take the test? You can take the baseline test at either Southwest or Roosevelt High School. Washburn is unable to host Impact testing due to technology restraints. *If you are a Washburn athlete, please sign up for testing at either Southwest or Roosevelt. Testing at Southwest High School *Students need to bring their Chromebook if testing at Southwest* Tuesday, October 29 at 3:15 or 4:15 pm. Thursday, November 7 at 3:15 or 4:15 pm. Wednesday, November 13 at 3:30 or 4:30 pm Athletic Trainer: Kelsey GleichWacker ([email protected]) Directions: Location is at Southwest HS, in the College and Career Center. It’s the room adjacent to the counselors’ offices. If you come in the front entrance, go all the way to the back and left of the cafeteria. Go up the half flight of stairs, straight ahead is a room with lots of windows, go to the right of that room and immediately to the left is 3 steps. Go down the steps and through the door on the left. Testing at Roosevelt High School Tuesday, October 29 at 3:45 pm Athletic Trainer: Sonya Eikum ([email protected]) Directions: My office is door 3A from the outside, or 159 from the inside. Walk past Door 4 and you will see a ramp. Go up the ramp. My door is at the top of the ramp. We will meet at my office and then go up to the computer lab together and take the test.

This opens up October 14 and you will be instructed to pay the $75 to Mpls Public Schools. We will send a link and reminder for MPS registration next week. In addition, MN alpine racers are required to have a Sports Qualifying Physical Examination completed and submitted along with MPS registration.
