Zurich Concussion Consensus Statement

The Zurich Concussion Consensus Statement is a set of international guidelines for diagnosing and managing sport-related concussions. It emphasizes a thorough, symptom-based assessment, including cognitive and physical evaluations, and recommends a step-by-step approach for safe return to activity. The goal is to ensure athletes recover fully before resuming play, minimize the risk of long-term issues, and promote awareness among players, coaches, and medical professionals. The guidelines also highlight the importance of individualized care, rest during symptoms, and gradual reintegration into sport.
