Return-to-play or Return-to-activity Decision Making

Return-to-play or return-to-activity decision-making in the context of concussion management involves evaluating when an individual can safely resume sports or physical activities after experiencing a concussion. This process includes assessing symptoms, cognitive function, and physical readiness, often following established guidelines. It typically features a gradual reintroduction to activities, monitored by healthcare professionals, to ensure that the individual has fully recovered and is not at risk of further injury. The goal is to prioritize health and safety, balancing the desire to return to play with the need for complete recovery.
