What's the difference between a Clinical and Sports+ subscription?

There are several differences, but the biggest being the battery of tests available for each. Our Clinical packages are created to support clinicians in a clinical setting working with many different populations. Our Sports+ subscription is tailored to ATs and other healthcare providers who are baseline testing and post-injury testing for large groups of people. Reach out to one of our Sales Reps to hear more on how Sway can support you!

If someone tested poorly on a baseline assessment, do I need to have them start over?

If there is one or more sections that you feel need to be re-tested, you do not need to repeat the entire baseline assessment. You can create a code specific for that section or create a Custom Protocol to include what sections you would like your athlete to re-test. You can see this process in Baseline Session Lesson

This will go directly to us to make sure your organization can access your test. We will send you a confirmation email once this process is completed.
