Computerized Neurocognitive Testing (CNT) for sports-related head injury

Record ID 32014000464
English
Authors' recommendations: Computerized cognitive testing (CNT) aims to measure changes in verbal memory, visual memory, processing speed, reaction time, or self-reported symptoms after a suspected sports-related concussion. The results are ideally compared to the athlete's baseline scores or, if not available, to normative data provided by the manufacturer. CNT is used to assist clinicians and athletic trainers in determining whether an athlete suffers from neurocognitive impairment and suspected concussion, thus requiring additional diagnostic evaluation or whether the athlete is able to safely return to play. These tests are not intended as standalone diagnostic or prognostic methods.
