Brain EQ Assessment

 The Brain EQ test is a comprehensive evaluation that include an graded symptom evaluation list and several tests designed to evaluate brain function, which can contribute to overall brain health and performance. The EQ balance test assesses the inner ear and hip-knee-ankle systems, as well as the circuits connecting these areas, which are crucial for balance and spatial orientation. The EQ visual function test evaluates large aspects of the brain's geography and is responsible for more than 50% of the brain's pathways. The EQ cognitive function tests assess several elements of executive function, letter and number recognition, mental flexibility, memory and processing speed, and reaction time. These tests include the Pylon Pivot, which assesses executive function, Recipe Recall, which assesses verbal memory, Jersey Reversey, which assesses working memory and attention, and Fastball, which assesses reaction time.

In addition to improving brain performance, these tests can also be useful in evaluating and managing concussions. By measuring various cognitive and motor functions, the Graded Symptom Evaluation List can help identify areas of impairment and track recovery progress.

Finally, the EQ Resilience test is a 90-second mental wellness test that assesses the balance between stress and recovery, promoting overall resilience and mental wellbeing. In athletics, resilience is a key component of mental toughness and can help athletes perform at their best, especially under pressure. Overall, the Graded Symptom Evaluation List can help individuals improve brain function, manage concussions, and enhance athletic performance.
