Numerous online computer neurocognitive tests have emerged over
the past few years in the field of concussion management. Some practices/practitioners are utilizing
these tests alone for concussion management, however these tests are only one
small piece of what should be a more thorough management strategy. These
tests have been shown in numerous clinical trials and world-wide consensus
statements to be unreliable as a stand-alone measure for concussion, but this
has not stopped many schools and amateur sports leagues from spending thousands
of dollars to have “baseline” testing. The problem is, these tests are
essentially a waste of time and money if
this is all you are using.
