We are pleased to announce Soter Healthcare is offering the King-Devick Concussion Screening Test (K-D Test), one of the best concussion screening tests available, for athletes and teams in the Twin Cities metro and Western Wisconsin.
The K-D Test is a simple screening tool to help assess possible concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI). Our protocol begins with a preseason baseline test and includes sideline and mid-season follow-up 
assessments as part of Soter’s Peak Performance program for athletes. Research from more than 50 clinical studies shows the K-D Test is one of the best concussion screening tools, including as a sideline test for remove-from-play requirements. The K-D Test is effective in identifying concussion and mTBI symptoms others have missed, especially when there is no loss of consciousness.
David Mair, Soter CEO and Managing Partner, commented about King-Devick, “Working with Olympic level athletes and my own kids, I’ve seen a lot of concussions. I’ve also seen too many coaches put a player who probably suffered a concussion back into a game, because they didn’t have a way to know. This removes that challenge. As a parent, I wish this test had been around earlier, but I’m very glad it’s here now. Every parent should have a baseline test done for their sons or daughters as a starting point.”
The K-D Test takes only a few minutes. It is not intended to diagnose the extent of a head injury, but it is one of the best concussion screening tests for making decisions about removing an athlete from further play and the possibility of further injury. It’s also a good way for parents to know when it’s time to see their athlete’s physician.
