A patient must be symptom-free before return to play. It is necessary to test each player following exertion to verify that symptoms do not recur following mild to moderate exertion. When evaluating athletes with the Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) instrument, it is necessary to compare to the baseline scores. Since his SAC score was similar to baseline testing and he is asymptomatic, restriction from play and immediate transport to the emergency department are not indicated.
