Swedish Concussion Guidelines

The Swedish Concussion Guidelines provide a framework for identifying and managing concussions, particularly in sports and physical activities. They emphasize recognizing symptoms such as headache, confusion, or dizziness right after an injury. The guidelines advocate for immediate removal from play and careful evaluation by a medical professional. Recovery should be gradual, with a step-by-step return to activities, ensuring that athletes do not rush back before they are fully healed. The goals are to promote safety, prevent further injury, and support proper recovery for individuals experiencing concussive symptoms.
