Concussion Awareness
The Porterville College Athletic Training staff supports the CCCAA in its commitment to the prevention, identification, evaluation and management of concussion. All intercollegiate student-athletes are required to sign a concussion statement accepting the responsibility for reporting any and all injuries they sustain, including signs and symptoms of concussion.
ImPACT Baseline concussion testing establishes each individual student-athlete’s pre-injury or “normal” neurocognitive performance. This will provide the sports medicine team with more reliable measures for the determination of post-injury recovery and return to play decisions.
