Adena Bone and Joint Center in Chillicothe, Ohio, and Axon Sports have partnered to bring a computer-based concussion program to local schools that are served by Adena athletic trainers, according to a Chillicothe Gazette report.
The program includes an online test that athletes take during the preseason to record their baseline scores. After an injury, the test can identify whether the athlete has returned to baseline and thus would be cleared for play.
The test, Computerized Cognitive Assessment Tool, was developed by Axon Sports.
