- What are the three additional graphs in ImPACT 2006?

Testimonials
What I like about ImPACT is the ability to do mass screenings. ImPACT is easy to use and the support from Drs. Lovell and Collins has been superior. I believe ImPACT is making a new standard of care for athletic concussion return to play.
