Abstract

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently published an evidence-based guideline, "Diagnosis and Management of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) Among Children." The guideline has many applications for athletic trainers. The following commentary provides considerations for athletic trainers regarding the guideline in conjunction with the current National Athletic Trainers' Association position statement "Management of Sport Concussion" and the "Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport-The 5th International Conference on Concussion in Sport Held in Berlin, October 2016."
