WSU-ICAA Concussion Management Plan

1. All WSU-ICAA student-athletes will have baseline testing done which includes SCAT2 testing (see SCAT2 baseline).

2. When a student-athlete sustains a concussion or closed head injury or an athletic trainer is made aware of a potential injury, an evaluation takes place utilizing the SCAT2 form.

3. The athletic trainer contacts one of the team physicians to share with them the information gained from the SCAT2 evaluation and to decide whether further referral is needed.

4. The student-athlete is held out of all athletic activities (practice, competition, weight lifting and conditioning) until cleared by a team physician.

5. The athletic trainer contacts an academic student services representative to make them aware of the condition of the student-athlete and determine any changes to the student-athlete’s academic schedule.

6. The student-athlete is taken through the SCAT2 evaluation daily until they are asymptomatic and their SCAT2 evaluation has returned to their SCAT2 baseline levels.

7. Once the student-athlete is asymptomatic and their results have been reviewed by a team physician, a graduated return to play protocol determined by the athletic trainer and team physician will be followed as referenced in the Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport, Zurich, 2008.
