Evaluation Of The Psychometric And Measurement Properties Of The Scat5 And Child Scat5, Michael Robinson
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Concussions are one of the most complex conditions to manage in sport medicine due to the individualized clinical presentation caused by the complex neurometabolic cascade that occurs. The identification, assessment and management of concussion requires clinicians to employ a multifaceted approach including the subjective disclosure of symptoms by patents. In order to aid in this, symptom checklists are commonly used as they provide a standardized method for collecting the severity of concussion symptoms. One of the most common symptom checklists is the 5th Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT5) symptom evaluation which is available in an adult and pediatric version. …
