The Sports Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT) is a standardized tool used to evaluate athletes for concussions. It includes a series of tests that assess symptoms, cognitive function, balance, and coordination. The SCAT is designed for use by medical professionals and coaches to help determine whether an athlete should return to play after a head injury. The SCAT is often used in various sports, including football, hockey, and soccer. It is part of a broader effort to improve safety in sports and ensure that athletes receive appropriate care. The tool is updated periodically to reflect the latest research on concussions and their management.
