This review summarizes evidence and expert consensus on baseline and post-injury testing, highlights psychometric and practical limitations of routine baseline programs, and underscores the importance of multimodal assessment, biopsychosocial factors, and neuropsychologist involvement in complex or persistent cases, including concerns about chronic traumatic encephalopathy and traumatic encephalopathy syndrome.
