SCAT Testing

What is SCAT?

The SCAT (Sport Concussion Assessment Tool) is a validated assessment used after a head injury to evaluate symptoms, cognition, balance, and neurological function.

It is most effective when compared against a baseline test completed at the start of the season. SCAT can be used for individuals aged 8 years and older and is widely adopted across elite and professional sport.
