Athletic Baseline Testing
Many school computer baselines do not capture enough to guide return-to-play after a hit. Baseline concussion testing at CIHW is a clinical athletic assessment. Families across the Chicago area use it when they want a file we can actually compare later.
Who this is for
When athletic baseline testing fits.
This sits inside Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation at 999 W. Main, West Dundee - not as a standalone menu item.
Parents, coaches, and clubs in the Dundee, Algonquin, and Barrington area who want a baseline they can actually use after a hit.

- 01
What makes a baseline concussion test valid?
A valid baseline captures pre-injury cognition, balance, and visual-vestibular function in a controlled clinical setting. A five-minute click-timer on a shared school laptop usually does not. CIHW's baseline concussion testing is built to hold up when compared post-injury.
- 02
Do you offer baseline concussion testing for teams and clubs across Illinois?
Yes. Dr. Mitchell speaks to local programs about why many school baselines are invalid, and CIHW runs baseline concussion testing on-site in West Dundee for athletes from clubs across the Chicago suburbs. Start at /speaking for organization-level requests.
