Sport Concussion Assessment Tool

The Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT) is a standardized method used by medical professionals to evaluate whether an athlete has sustained a concussion. It includes a series of tests that assess symptoms, memory, concentration, balance, and coordination. The goal is to identify signs of brain injury quickly to ensure appropriate care and prevent further harm. The SCAT is used in sports settings to help make informed decisions about an athlete’s ability to safely return to play after a suspected concussion.
