Abstract

Don't allow an athlete who has symptoms at rest or with exertion to return to play. Consider neuropsychological testing in conjunction with continued clinical assessment for objective measurements to assist in managing concussion. Recommend up-to-date protective equipment for athletes. Recent improvements, especially in American football, have been shown to help decrease the incidence of concussion.
