Concussion Management Protocols

Concussion management protocols are guidelines designed to assess and treat individuals who have experienced a concussion, a type of brain injury. These protocols involve initial evaluation to determine the severity of the injury, followed by a period of physical and cognitive rest. Gradual return-to-activity steps are taken, monitored by healthcare professionals, ensuring the individual is symptom-free before resuming regular activities, including sports. Education on recognizing symptoms and preventing future concussions is also essential. Ultimately, the goal is to facilitate safe recovery while minimizing the risk of further injury.
