Sport-Related Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Making the decision to safely return an athlete to play following a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), often referred to as concussion, may be the most important aspect in managing these injuries. Proper evaluation and use of adjunctive assessment tools can aid clinicians in making return-to-play decisions.
