Abstract:
After sports-related concussion (SRC), some athletes return before full recovery due to time-based return-to-play recommendations or the masking of symptoms, potentially increasing future injury risk. We hypothesize that current return-to-play decisions for nonprofessional athletes results in heightened risk of subsequent injury and should involve symptom-based assessment including multifactorial assessment of the qualities known to be impacted by SRC.
