Concussion Management
In Vienna in November 2001, the First International Symposium on Concussion in Sport concluded that there were no scientifically validated return to play guidelines available. They recommended that the management of concussed athletes should include assessment of injury recovery followed by a step-wise return to activity. The guidelines summarized here are based on both these ‘Vienna guidelines', and the Canadian Academy of Sport Medicine (CASM) guidelines.
