Return-to-Play

When an athlete suffers a concussion or a suspected concussion, it is imperative that an athlete not return-to-play before they are cleared by an appropriate medical professional with training in concussion management.

Does your program:

  1. Have an appropriate policy regarding return-to-play after suspected concussion? Need one? Email us.
  2. Utilize baseline testing to assist medical professionals in their return-to-play decisions?
    1. Cognitive Tests
      1. ImPACT
      2. Axon Sports
    2. Balance Tests
      1. Balance Error Scoring Test (BESS)

Are we missing something? Please make suggestions by emailing us.
