National Concussion Awareness Day is an opportunity to talk about recognizing concussions and taking them seriously.
For Athletic Trainers, that conversation goes a step further.
Concussion assessment isn't about finding one test that provides an answer. It's about bringing together the information available:
-
Clinical evaluation
-
Reported symptoms
-
Balance, cognition
-
Baseline information when available
-
And how the athlete changes over time.
And the tools available to Athletic Trainers have changed considerably.
Sway Concussion puts objective balance and cognitive testing on a mobile device, allowing Athletic Trainers to collect additional data during baseline testing, sideline evaluation, and the return-to-play process. Sway's concussion product has FDA 510(k) clearance as a computerized cognitive assessment aid for concussion management and is intended to support, not replace, clinical judgment.
That's something worth highlighting on National Concussion Awareness Day.
Because greater awareness isn't only about recognizing when an athlete may have a concussion.
It's also about continuing to improve the information available to the healthcare professionals making those decisions.
See how Sway supports Athletic Trainers throughout concussion management.
