of concussion and in conducting a sideline
screening for concussion
using one or more sideline assessment tests for concussion (e.g. SCAT3, balance, King - Devick, Maddocks questions, SAC)(preferably by a certified athletic trainer and / or team physician), and long as data on the number, force, and direction
of impacts is only made available for
use by coaches and athletic trainers in a position to
use such information to adjust an athlete's blocking or tackling tec hnique (and not for indiscriminate
use by those, such as parents, who are not in a position to make intelligent
use of the data), they represent a valuable addition to a program's concussion toolbox and as a
tool to minimize repetitive head impacts.
