π§ The NEW Consensus statement on concussion in sport: the 6th International Conference on #Concussion in Sport from the Amsterdam, October 2022 interdisciplinary meeting is OFFICIALLY out via @BJSM_BMJ π
𧡠Here are the key takeaways summarized by the article:

𧡠Here are the key takeaways summarized by the article:
#FOAMed
Individuals with persisting symptoms (ie, symptom duration >4 weeks) should be evaluated with a MULTIMODAL CLINICAL ASSESSMENT including the use of standardized and validated symptom rating scales. 2/
The potential long-term effects of Sports Related Concussion & repetitive head impacts (RHI) are areas of ongoing public health interest and concern among both healthcare professionals and the general public. 3/
It is proposed that a working group representing multiple disciplines and perspectives be established to guide appropriate research in this area. 4/
πPoint: Strong evidence exists regarding the benefits of physical activity and aerobic exercise treatment as early interventions.

The Concussion Recognition Tool-6 (CRT6),
β Sport Concussion Assessment Tool-6 (SCAT6) and
β Child SCAT6
provide updated iterations of the acute sport-related concussion (SRC) tools best used in the first 72 hours (and up to 1 week) after injury.

β¨πβ¨ office tools:
β The Sport Concussion Office Assessment Tool-6 (SCOAT6) &
β Child SCOAT6
were designed to better guide evaluation & management in an office setting from 72 hours after injury and for serial evaluations in the following weeks.

π Point:
π§° The overlap between the SCAT6 & SCOAT6 is INTENTIONAL & designed to facilitate easy transitions across tools.

βοΈ The Concussion in Sport Group (CISG) definition of concussion was updated while work continues toward a unified conceptual and operational definition.

The conceptual definition, accepted as a majority decision (78.6%) but not reaching an 80% consensus, is:
Sport-related concussion is a traumatic brain injury caused by a direct blow to the head, neck or body resulting in an impulsive force being transmitted to the brain...

π point: Concussion diagnosis and management in para athletes is challenging with limited data, requiring further research and dedicated clinical recommendations that consider a range of impairments.

π€Remember that:
#Concussion is a REHABILITATIVE injury
Concussion continues to be a CLINICAL diagnosis only
Research is evolving & requires an all hands on deck approach to study the most complex organ in the body
π€Interdisciplinary = key for complex patients
