Concussion evaluation
Assessment after a head impact during sport, to confirm safety and guide a careful return to activity.
Common symptoms
- Head impact during play
- Confusion, headache, or dizziness after impact
- Sensitivity to light or difficulty concentrating
What it involves
A structured neurological and cognitive assessment, with a graded return-to-play protocol if concussion is confirmed.
What to expect
Returning to play too soon after a concussion carries real risk — the evaluation exists specifically to prevent that.
