• Evaluation of athletes in the sub-acute phase of concussion (72 hours to 30+ days).
• Designed for the office or clinical setting by licensed healthcare professionals.
• Monitoring recovery trajectory and determining needs for targeted rehabilitation.

• Sub-acute Symptom Scale: Similar to SCAT6 but tracks change over time.
• Mental Health Screen: Brief screening for anxiety (GAD-7) and depression (PHQ-2).
• Sleep Assessment: Evaluates sleep disturbance (using ASSQ or similar).
• Advanced Coordination: Tandem gait and more complex motor tasks.
• Modified VOMS: Integrated vestibular and ocular motor screening.

• Range of motion testing.
• Tenderness and trigger point mapping.
• Differentiation between concussion and cervical-driven symptoms.

The SCOAT6 is designed to be administered multiple times throughout the recovery window. It provides a structured way to document "Percentage of Baseline" and identify if recovery is stalling, which may require referral to a specialist multidisciplinary team.

• Always evaluate orthostatic vitals if the patient reports dizziness on standing.
• If the SCOAT6 results remain significantly abnormal at 4 weeks, consider "Persistent Post-Concussive Symptoms" (PPCS).
• Integrate academic/work status assessments into the office visit.

• Update Return-to-School/Work plan based on symptom levels.
• Prescribe sub-threshold aerobic exercise if indicated by BCTT.
• Coordinate with specialists (Vestibular, Vision, or Psychology) for persistent deficits.
