Concussion Tracker Smartphone Application

This year FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Centers Manassas is going to be using The Concussion Tracker smartphone application for all concussion detection, reporting, and medical clearance documentation. All athletes, or their parents, are required to download the Concussion Tracker App from the App Store or Google Play and create a profile. If the athlete is old enough to have their own profile, they would register as an 'Individual Account'. If the parents are registering on behalf of the child or multiple children, register under a 'Family Account'.

All athletes must also complete the neurocognitive baseline test prior to the start of the season. It is important to have documentation of brain function when healthy so that deficits can be seen if a concussion is to occur.

The Concussion Tracker smartphone application is a secure system which supports accurate diagnosis and safer return-to-sport decisions for young athletes. When a concussion hits, Concussion Tracker enables an athlete’s stakeholders to:

• Report and track concussion
• Conduct sideline assessments
• Ensure seamless communication
• Record athlete’s recovery status and timeline
• Scan and share medical documents
• Track daily symptoms for recovery progress
• Store and view pre-season concussion test results

The neurocognitive test in the Concussion Tracker app is only one component of a proper multimodal baseline test. Multimodal pre-season testing is a series of physical and cognitive tests that provides a pre-injury overview of healthy brain function. These tests can offer healthcare practitioners with an objective benchmark on which to compare should a patient sustain a concussion. It’s important to remember that not all baseline testing is created equal. Complete Concussions has selected the best evidence-based tools available to provide you with comprehensive, multimodal, proven baseline-testing.

As concussion symptoms often disappear days to weeks before the brain has recovered, having valuable baseline information may help practitioners to make safer return to play decisions.

FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Centers Manassas encourages all athletes ages 10 and up to undergo full pre-season testing through a Complete Concussions clinic location.
