Abstract

Participants completed two concussion assessment batteries twice in counterbalanced order with 7-13 days in between each assessment to calculate test-retest reliability. Findings indicate that ImPACT is marked by significant problems with the stability of scores even within two weeks, and more established measures appear to provide a better alternative.
