abstract="OBJECTIVE: To identify criteria used by sports neuropsychologists in determining recovery following sport-related concussion. <br><br>METHODS: Forty-six sports neuropsychologists completed a custom survey, rating the importance of specific criteria for determining concussion recovery in youth versus adults. Percentages and modal ratings were documented. <br><br>RESULTS: &quot;Back to work/school without accommodations,&quot; &quot;No headache after neurocognitive testing,&quot; &quot;Feeling 100% back to normal,&quot; and &quot;No symptoms after noncontact exertion&quot; were rated highest for youth and adults. &quot;Physician examination without concerns&quot; and &quot;Balance testing&quot; were the two lowest rated items for both youth and adults. For youth, &quot;sufficient&quot; amount of time symptom-free needed for recovery was seen as longer than for adults. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: There was some similarity in how sports neuropsychologists determine concussion recovery for both adults and youth. Future studies should include a larger sample size and concussion experts from other specialties to identify the current multidisciplinary standard of care.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
