IHSA CONCUSSION AWARENESS PRESENTATION

33. ImPact Testing
Immediate Post Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing
Utilized in many professional, collegiate, and high school sports programs across the country
This non-invasive test is set up in “video-game” type format and takes about minutes to complete

34. ImPact Baseline Testing
Exam is given to athletes before beginning contact sport practice or competition
The ImPACT test is a pre-season physical of the brain
Tracks information such as memory, reaction time, speed, and concentration

35. ImPact Testing
If a concussion is suspected, the athlete will be required to re-take the test
Same testing format, different questions
Preseason and post-injury test data is given to the treating physician to help evaluate the injury.
The test data will enable health professionals to determine when return-to- play is appropriate and safe

36. Illinois State Law Illinois House Bill 200 (July 2011)
Schools must adopt a concussion policy in line with IHSA guidelines
Creation of Return to Play Protocol
Youth Sports Concussion Safety Act (Fall 2016)
Creation of a Return to Learn Protocol
Allows school officials to limit/modify classroom learning while students are recovering from concussion

37. Link: Lake Park High School Post Concussion Return to Learn Protocol
Phase 1: No school attendance, complete cognitive and physical rest.
Phase 2: Full or Part- time school attendance with classroom adjustments.
The student should have a note from an MD or DO indicating their diagnosis, that they may return to school and what their activity restrictions are, particularly if part-time school is required.
Phase 3: Full-Day Attendance with Academic Adjustments
Phase 4: Full-day Attendance without Academic Adjustments
Phase 5: Full School and Extracurricular Involvement
Link: Lake Park High School Post Concussion Return to Learn Protocol

38. Link: Lake Park Return to Play Protocol
RTP Protocol
Must have 24 hours between stages
An athlete will not return to participation the same day as a concussive event.
Once the athlete has received clearance from a physician licensed in all branches, they may begin the return to play process.
If an athlete receives clearance from a physician, the athletic trainer still reserves the right to hold the athlete out of participation.
A parent’s consent is not a sufficient means for an athlete to return to participation.
If symptoms last longer than normal, we may recommend vestibular therapy provided by Athletico.
