• A baseline test is a 20-minute online test which measures reaction time, memory and processing speed. It provides an accurate picture of your normal brain function.

• The data is stored on a free app

• If you experience a head injury / concussion in the future, you inform the doctor that you have a baseline test.

• You then take a ‘post’ injury test which your doctor can use with your ‘baseline’ scores to provide an evidence-based recovery program.

• How does it work? Please see official ImPACT Baseline Test Video: Click here to watch the video

• Just like an annual physical, it is recommended that you take a baseline test every year.

• ImPACT Baseline Tests have been developed for ages 12 – 80

• ImPACT Baseline Test is FDA-cleared and available in 22 languages.

The Ellie Soutter Foundation will be featuring at National Snow Week over the next two weekends. Kicking off with National Snow Show Birmingham this weekend and the first ever London Snow Show next weekend.

The Ellie Soutter Foundation

The purpose of the Foundation is to identify and provide support for young people, who have a demonstrable talent for winter sports and would otherwise be unable to maximise their potential because of a lack of financial resources. This will be achieved by providing grants for equipment, training, travel, competing and accommodation.
