Neuropsychological Screening of Sport-Related Concussion.

Neuropsychological assessment is a key component of the multidimensional approach recommended by international consensus guidelines for evaluation of athletes affected by sport-related concussion (SRC). Over the past 2 decades, a number of conventional and computerized neuropsychological test batteries have been developed for the assessment of SRC. Standardized neurocognitive assessment tools are now commonly used across the continuum of concussion care, ranging from the sports sideline to critical care setting and the outpatient concussion clinic. We provide a brief, high-level overview of current approaches to best practice in neuropsychological assessment of SRC.
