[Management of sports-related concussion - a stepwise rehabilitation protocol].

Abstract

Early recognition and management of sports-related concussion (SRC), including removal from the sports activity, is essential for player safety and to prevent long-term symptoms. A graduated, stepwise rehabilitation protocol is implemented to allow the athlete to return to sports. In 2022, the 6th international consensus statement on concussion in sports was presented, which has now been adapted to Swedish conditions. In the present overview, the updated recommendations for SRC in athletes are summarized.
