Concussion recovery tool

Let's map your recovery

This tool looks at how you're wired and, if you choose, how your brain is doing right now, and reads them together to help make sense of your concussion recovery. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes, at your own pace, and it saves as you go. It is not a diagnosis. It's a personalised profile you can share with your clinician or the people supporting you.

How you're wired

A bit about you

These are stable parts of how you're built. They don't change with your injury, but they shape how recovery goes. There are no right answers, and high is not better, just different. Answer how true each feels for you in general.

One choice before your report

Add the brain function check?

You can see your profile now, or add a short brain function check first
The brain function check looks at how areas like focus, memory, mood, and energy are doing right now. It takes about 5 more minutes and gives a fuller picture, especially useful to share with a clinician. You can skip it and still get your wiring profile and recovery insights.

For each area, choose how often the statement is true right now. "Always" means that area is doing well. If something feels different to how you were before your injury, you can flag it.

Your Brain Recovery Map
Your recovery profile

This report maps how you're wired and how your brain is doing right now, and reads the two together to help make sense of your recovery. Every trait is simply part of how you're built. None is a flaw. The aim is to understand why recovery is going the way it is for you, and where a small change, or a bit of help from others, might ease the load.

Important: This is a self-report recovery profile, not a medical diagnosis. It's designed to support conversations with your concussion clinician (OT, physiotherapist, GP, or neuropsychologist) to help tailor your recovery plan. Bring it along.

Setting the scene
Background context
The life and history your recovery is happening inside. This shapes everything that follows, and it's useful for you and for anyone supporting you.
How you're wired
Each trait is simply how you're built. The further right a dot sits, the more that trait tends to add load during recovery, and those are the ones worth working with while you heal.
What it means, and what helps
All we have control over is how we react and respond to the world around us. In saying that, when recovering from a concussion it can become a lot harder to feel in control. Here are the traits most likely to be impacting your recovery right now.

Right now · how your brain is working
Brain function by area
How each functional area is doing at the moment. The bar shows the overall picture; the bands show the specifics. Sharing the areas worth working on with your medical team will help them advise on the best approaches for you.
Before you go

None of this is a verdict, and none of it is fixed. The very traits that make recovery harder right now are the same ones that carry you through the rest of your life, and your brain is still healing. Recovery from concussion is rarely a straight line, so be patient with yourself, lean on the people around you, and treat rest as the real work for now. You are not failing at this. You are doing something genuinely hard, and understanding yourself this clearly is a real step forward.

This is a self-reported snapshot, not a medical diagnosis. It's designed to help you understand your recovery and to support conversations with your clinician, coach, or the people around you.
