A Review of The Maddocks Questions — Brain Injury Awareness Month

All 2GuysTalking Podcast Network Content

March means two things in the world of sports medicine, not counting March Madness. The first is National Athletic Training Month. The second is Brain Injury Awareness Month. In the world of sport-related concussions, it’s an ideal time to continue to bring awareness about concussions, which are a mild traumatic brain injury. I thought for this year, I’d try to go through the SCAT, or the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool and talk about what we know from an evidence-based standpoint how each of the components function. Today we are going to tackle the Maddocks questions. It’s time to buckle up as we dive into the SCAT. Connect with The Host! Subscribe to This Podcast Now!
