The majority of studies investigating concussion head injury assessment are focused on elite sports and male participants, according to a systematic review published in BMCSportsSciMedRehabil.

], we suggest from this systematic review that the SCAT should be incorporated with other testing modalities for data collection purposes, with any clinical diagnosis made by the associated team doctor outside of the study scope.], only one study in this systematic review utilised video. A reason for this was because the video was used for post-event confirmation rather than used for confirmation of concussion at time of incident.

Limitations of this review include research involving lab-based clinical assessments. However, the focus of this review was on published research that could assist at the lower levels of sport in community or amateur settings . Another limitation we acknowledge is that the laws of each individual sporting code may not allow for head injury assessments during the game: this may influence timing of assessments and the ability to 'Recognise and Remove'.

] there is an urgent need to conduct research, using multi-modality assessment methods, but focusing on non-elite levels where concussion injuries occur regularly but a lack of resources and education preclude effective assessment and management.
