SCAT5

SCAT5 (Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 5th Edition) is a standardized test used by healthcare professionals to evaluate athletes for concussion symptoms and cognitive function after a suspected head injury. It includes questions about how the athlete feels, checks for physical signs and memory, balance, and coordination. The goal is to identify whether an athlete has a concussion and to help determine when it’s safe to return to play. The test provides a consistent way to assess and monitor brain health following a head impact.
