Concussion Protocol

Concussion Protocol refers to a set of guidelines used to assess and manage athletes suspected of having a concussion, which is a type of brain injury. It typically involves a series of steps, including immediate removal from play, medical evaluation, and monitoring for symptoms like headaches or dizziness. An athlete must undergo cognitive and physical assessments before being cleared to return to sports. This protocol aims to ensure the safety of the individual and prevent the risks of further injury while allowing for adequate recovery time. It is vital for protecting brain health in sports.
