(Sport Concussion Assessment Tool)

The SCAT3 combines several commonly used assessment tools, including the Glasgow Coma Scale, Maddocks Score,8 symptom evaluation, Standardized Assessment of Concussion,2 and modified Balance Error Scoring System. 9. Scores are generated for each test.

Brain functions that are evaluated in concussion tests include: Alertness. Memory. Attention and concentration.

The Symptom Inventory consists of 22 commonly reported symptoms, which are self-rated on a 7-point Likert scale from 0 (no issue) to 6 (severe). Both the number of symptoms (maximum 22) and a symptom severity score (sum of all reported symptoms, maximum 132) are recorded.

Concussion should be suspected in the presence of any one or more of the following: - Symptoms (e.g., headache), or - Physical signs (e.g., unsteadiness), or - Impaired brain function (e.g. confusion) or - Abnormal behaviour (e.g., change in personality).

The diagnosis of a concussion is a clinical judgment, made by a medical professional. The SCAT5 should NOT be used by itself to make, or exclude, the diagnosis of concussion. An athlete may have a concussion even if their SCAT5 is “normal”.

The SCAT6 consists of several components, including a screening for injuries more severe than a concussion, a symptom evaluation, a cognitive assessment, and a coordination and balance examination. One of the significant benefits of SCAT6 is its standardized approach to concussion assessment.

The SCAT symptom evaluation consists of 22 symptoms with a 7-point Likert Scale (0 = none, 6 = severe) and instructed participants to rate their current symptoms. Scores range from 0 to 132 points.
