The Updated Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport
The 6th International Conference on Concussion in Sport was held in Amsterdam in October 2022. The results of this conference, along with a series of systematic reviews and discussions from an international panel of experts, led to the creation of an updated Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport. The new Statement was published in 2023 and reflects best practices for managing sport-related concussions. See below for a summary video of the new Statement.
