   Since 1996, Joseph Bleiberg, Ph.D. has been leading a team of National Rehabilitation Hospital researchers to develop ways of using ANAM for concussion management."Many teams in the NFL and NHL use a battery of neuropsychological tests during the off-season to create a baseline for each player.Those tests then are repeated after injury to determine when the player has returned to their normal level of cognitive function.Unfortunately, such testing is expensive and time-consuming.The goal of our project is to use computerization to make the testing easy to administer, rapid, and inexpensive.Doing so is the most direct way to make the testing available to the tens of millions American children in contact sports," says Bleiberg.

   "If we demonstrate that ASMB can be used effectively and inexpensively in Fairfax County, NRH will address sports concussion at a public health level by making an Internet version available to schools across the country," states Bleiberg.
