Computer program monitors concussions in Kennett athletes
Fall sports participants take ImPACT test before starting preseason training BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — What do the Kennett High Eagles have in common with the Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins, the New England Patriots and the Boston Red Sox? They're all using the ImPACT test computer program to monitor concussions. All of the fall sports teams at Kennett have taken the test now and can begin preseason training. The Eagles are following a lead of state-line neighbor Fryeburg Academy, which started ImPACT testing two years ago. "The ImPACT test is a vital component of our concussion management test battery," see IMPACT TEST page 12
