Concussion Protocol

[hawkster03]

Anyone know how this works exactly???

I don't really know much but I believe there are some baseline cognitive test that players have taken pre-season that measure reaction time, memory capacity, speed of mental processing, etc. Then after they are diagnosed they have a way to see if a player is back to normal or still suffering some effects that may not be obvious.

Long time listener, first time caller. If anyone is really interested in concussion protocol, you can read it here.....http://www.ncaa.org/sport-science-institute/concussion-safety-protocol-management

Most return to play protocols require cognitive baseline testing to return to preseason levels and the absence of symptoms both at rest and during exertion that simulates game activity. Once you clear those hurdles, you can play.
