Concussion associated with sport is a common occurrence with an estimated 1.6 to
3.8 million sports-related concussions yearly in the United States. The sideline
assessment of concussion focuses on four areas: cognitive ability, balance,
associated symptoms, and visual tracking. Tools available on the sideline to
assist in the diagnosis of concussion are discussed in this article. Some of
these tools are validated and reliable and some are developing and have yet to be
proven to be sensitive enough for routine use. These tools along with a thorough
history and physical examination enable a sideline physician to accurately
diagnose concussion.
