abstract="ISSUE ADDRESSED: This study aimed to assess the current understanding of brain injury in sport and to identify existing management and return-to-play guidelines associated with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in non-elite field hockey and Australian Rules football in Western Australia. METHODS: In-depth interviews were conducted with key injury management personnel in non-elite field hockey and Australian football in Western Australia. RESULTS: None of the 20 clubs surveyed followed a standardised procedure for the management of head and brain injury in their team or sport. CONCLUSIONS: Findings from the study indicate that the management of head and brain injury was variable, subjective in nature, and that there were no evidence-based guidelines available for the management of mTBI to any of the respondents in this study.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
