In simple terms, baseline screening provides a reference point.At Your Brain Health we use technology to facilitate the collection of objective data; and in 15 minutes we can have information relating to:• The Vestibular Ocular Motor System• Cognition• Balance• Past concussions and relevant history & symptomsThis is known as a multimodal approach; the brain does many things, so we need to view from many angles.If an injury occurs in the future, and the markers are retested, health professionals will have a better understanding of where the main challenges are. This is essential in making informed decisions and developing a recovery programme that is personalised and targeted.

• A reference point that can be used by clinicians to evaluate current status, track recovery with greater sensitivity, and provide personalised and targeted rehabilitation strategies. • Early, targeted rehabilitation is important in reducing the risk of persistent symptoms and improving outcomes.• The chance to promote conversations and educate players, coaches and other key parties in the topic of concussion and its management.• An opportunity for clubs, schools and organisations to demonstrate they are taking things seriously.

What should be tested?Baseline screens are most effective if they measure a variety of brain functions so, we look at a number of common functions and systems that may be affected in a concussion. This is known as this is known as multimodal screening. Our screening may include some of the following:• Vestibular Ocular Motor - NeuroFlex® testing• Balance – Balance & postural sway tests• Cognitive – Simple Reaction time tests and NeuroFlex® test• Brain Health History pre-screen – including relevant medical history, current symptoms, mental health and sleep.How and where?• Our staff will come to your location or, for individuals, we can test at our clinics• We will require a space that has power and enough tables & chairs for 6 -10 persons at a time. Available Wi-Fi is preferable but not essential.• A Your Brain Health physiotherapist will be present to supervise all testing. • Testing takes around 15 minutes per person, if required we can organise enough staff to test multiple people at once.What information will it provide?• The screen provides information on current status and this is valuable as a reference point if a future concussion / head knock occurs.• On request, your results can be forwarded to your GP, club sports doctor or physiotherapist. • All data is stored securely adhering to the Australian Privacy Principles and Privacy Act.Can I claim with my private health?• Physiotherapy private health rebates may be available for Level 1 screenings. • Private health rebates will vary depending on your insurer and the type of cover you have.
