Abstract
Consensus guidelines for managing sport related concussion in adults have been increasingly widely implemented.1 So far, there are no guidelines that enable clinicians to manage similar sporting concussive injuries in children. Furthermore, there are a number of important anatomical, physiological, and behavioural differences between adults and children that suggest that adult guidelines will need to be either modified or rewritten to manage injuries in this age group.This publication has 40 references indexed in Scilit:
