Concussion Protocol
Concussion Protocol refers to a set of guidelines designed to manage and assess individuals who may have sustained a concussion, a type of brain injury. This protocol typically includes immediate removal from play, a thorough evaluation by a medical professional, and monitoring for symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, or confusion.
Once a concussion is diagnosed, the individual must follow a stepwise return-to-play process. This involves gradually increasing physical activity while being symptom-free, ensuring that the brain has adequately healed before returning to full participation in sports or activities.
