Concussion Assessment Tool
The Concussion Assessment Tool is a standardized method used to evaluate individuals suspected of having a concussion. It includes a series of tests that assess cognitive function, balance, and symptoms. This tool helps healthcare professionals determine the severity of the injury and make informed decisions about return-to-play protocols.
The tool is often used in sports settings, particularly in youth and professional athletics, to ensure player safety. It is designed to provide objective data that can guide treatment and recovery, minimizing the risk of further injury. Regular use of the tool can improve overall awareness of concussion management in sports.
