Located off campus at 814 W. Washington Street, the NMU Concussion Research Clinic offers services for individuals suffering from post-concussion symptoms, from initial physical examinations to follow-up and return-to-play testing and rehabilitation, at a reasonable cost. The clinic is run by Dr. Maggy Moore ’01 BS from NMU’s School of Health and Human Performance and Medical Director Dr. Bryan Dixon, who previously served as NMU Wildcat team and USOEC physician. Athletic training graduate students and undergraduate research assistants work with patients and research participants throughout the year.
One of the critical tools the clinic used is the ImPACT Test, the first and most scientifically validated computerized concussion evaluation system, developed by alumnus Mark Lovell ’77 BS. He and his wife also funded Moore’s ability to devote time to the clinic and collaborative concussion research and rehabilitation with an endowed professorship.
The clinic examines and helps treat multiple impacts of concussion, such as sleep, dizziness, vision issues, depression and cognitive dysfunction. The clinic has served hundreds of patients from Upper Michigan and Northern Wisconsin over the past 5 years.
