Emergency department referral and CT scan criteria
-
The Glasgow coma scale
-
Red flags, signs that a concussion is serious

A cognitive rest and academic recovery plan and sample letters

Sample return-to-play and return-to-game letters
Patient handouts
A child should recover and be completely symptom-free—at rest and with physical exertion—before returning to sports or other activities. These tools can help patients determine when it is safe.
General concussion guidelines for patients
Concussion guidelines for specific sports
Concussion research
We are working to find out more about concussion, its possible effects and how best to help patients fully recover. Your patients might benefit from participation in one of our research projects.
