Assessment of concussion can be challenging for medical practitioners given the different factors associated with each individual injury. The use of neuropsychological testing provides an objective method in the evaluation and management of concussion. Over the last 20 years it has become increasingly useful in the realm of sports concussion and has been deemed a cornerstone of concussion management by the Concussion in Sport group at the International Symposia on Concussion in Sport. Neuropsychological assessment has evolved to using computer-based neurocognitive testing, which has become increasingly common over the last decade, especially in organized sports. Neuropsychological assessment has also proven to be effective in the detection of differences based on several individual factors, including age, gender, and history of prior concussion. Despite its documented value, neuropsychological assessment should be one of several tools used as part of the concussion assessment/management process.
由于与每个个体损伤相关的不同因素，医学从业者对脑震荡的评估可能具有挑战性。神经心理学测试的使用为脑震荡的评估和管理提供了一种客观的方法。在过去的 20 年中，它在运动性脑震荡领域变得越来越有用，并被运动性脑震荡国际研讨会的脑震荡管理小组视为脑震荡管理的基石。神经心理学评估已经发展到使用基于计算机的神经认知测试，在过去十年中，这种测试越来越普遍，尤其是在有组织的运动中。神经心理学评估也已被证明在检测基于几个个体因素（包括年龄、性别和既往脑震荡史）的差异方面是有效的。尽管有文件记载其价值，但神经心理学评估应该是脑震荡评估/管理过程中使用的几个工具之一。
