Case Characterization and Perceptions of Athletic Trainers Regarding Medical Disqualification Following Concussion

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight that nearly half of participants were involved in an MDQ case following concussion and navigated this process without guidelines. Given this, multiple factors were considered to evaluate the patient's well-being holistically. The number of ATs involved in MDQ cases following concussion and factors that guided this process warrant further research to develop evidence-based recommendations that assist clinicians in these difficult decisions.PMID:38632834 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0567.23
