Concussion Clinic

ChildServe has one of the only two board-certified pediatric rehab doctors in Iowa, Fred Klingbeil, MD, who treats children in the inpatient and outpatient programs.

Leading Technology & Assessments

ChildServe’s Concussion Clinic uses industry-leading technology to assess and care for children and young adults recovering from concussions.

• ImPACT® (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) was developed by clinical experts who pioneered the field. ImPACT is the most-widely used and most scientifically validated computerized concussion evaluation system. ImPACT provides trained clinicians at ChildServe with neurocognitive assessment tools and services that have been medically accepted as state-of-the-art best practices.
• The Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT)  helps evaluate balance, coordination, cognition, symptoms, and neurological damage.
• Both BITS and Dynavision are used for vestibular-ocular testing and rehabilitation. These technologies are used to measure the body’s vision and balance function and how they impact decision-making and concentration under stress. ​
