Axon Cogstate

The Axon Sports Computerized Cognitive Assessment Tool is a neurocognitive test performed on a computer which takes most people between eight and 10 minutes.
The test measures multiple cognitive areas that are especially sensitive to concussions, including attention, processing speed, working memory, and learning.
An initial baseline test is taken before a concussion occurs, typically pre-season, and this can be repeated after a head injury.

  • 8-10 minute neurocognitive online test that helps qualified Medical providers manage return-to-play decisions after an Athlete has sustained a concussion.
  • The test measures multiple cognitive areas that are especially sensitive to concussions, including attention, processing speed, working memory, and learning.

  • The test is repeated after a head injury.
  • The combination of the Baseline and After Injury test scores provides valuable information to the Medical Provider who is managing the Athlete’s care and the return-to-play decision, reducing the risk of additional injury become complete recovery.
