Concussion screen

Step 1 of 7 · Athlete

Athlete details

Record who you are assessing and when the injury occurred.

Age and sport are required to continue.

This screening tool is only intended for athletes 15 years of age and older. It follows the sideline screening structure used in SCAT-style assessments. It supports, but never replaces, clinical judgement.
