Consensus Statement on Concussion Update

If you did not already know, the Consensus Statement on Concussion (Prauge 2008) has recently been updated.  There are also new SCAT forms available, including the SCAT 3, and Child SCAT 3.  We have provided links to all 3 documents below.  In addition, we have linked to the Concussion Recognition Tool for your reference.  We hope you will continue to find these posts to be timely, pertinent, and clinically relevant.

While you are on our site, please be sure to check out our on-line educational opportunities, including our summer Concussion Management Specialist course and our on-line learning programs that can be scheduled specifically for your staff or group, at YOUR convenience.
