Simple sideline assessment tools to diagnose concussions in sports are now available to help the medical team and coaches to better protect their athletes.

History: The 3rd international conference on concussion in sports was held in Zurich this winter and resulted in a practical Sport Concussion Assessment Tool ( SCAT2 ), its short version (Pocket SCAT2, see above), and a simple balance assessment tool.

The aims of the conference were to provide recommendations for the improvement of safety and health of athletes who suffer concussive injuries in sports as ice hockey, rugby, and football (soccer).
