Wonderland Wizards - ImPACT Test Concussion Management Program
The Wonderland Wizards have contracted ImPACT Applications, Inc. to provide a Concussion Management Program which has an online tool to a establish a Baseline for the Concussion Management Program.
-
Starting March 1st, 2011, the following Customer ID Code for Wonderland Wizards Youth Hockey will need to be entered to take an ImPACT Baseline Test:
F8P2JFYUFB
The ImPACT testing process is made up of three components:
- Gathering background information
- Indicating current symptoms and conditions
- Completion of the analysis modules
The information for the first two components can be gathered and entered by the exam supervisor/parent. The third component should be completed by the athlete.
NO ADOLESCENT WITH A CONCUSSION SHOULD CONTINUE TO PLAY OR RETURN TO A GAME AFTER SUSTAINING A CONCUSSION.
The ImPACT Test is a neuro-cognitive test that is one piece of the puzzle used in assessing recovery from concussions and determining the timing of return to play. It should only be used as a tool, and should not be the only deciding factor in returning a concussed athlete to play. It provides objective data and prevents athletes who hide their symptoms from returning to play before they are fully recovered.
The ImPACT Test is used by the NFL, NHL, and other professional sports organizations. It is used by many universities and is now recommended by some states for high school students. This test is recommended by the CIAC in Connecticut to be used as a baseline in Connecticut high schools.
