Concussion assessment protocols

Concussion assessment protocols are systematic methods used to evaluate individuals who may have sustained a concussion, typically from sports or accidents. These protocols often involve a series of tests that measure symptoms, balance, memory, and cognitive function. Medical professionals may use tools like symptom checklists and standardized assessments to determine the severity of a concussion and the best course of action for recovery. The goal is to ensure safety, prevent further injury, and guide a safe return to activity, considering both physical and mental health. These protocols are crucial for effective management and recovery.
