What we assess at GRIT
More Than Just Symptom Checking.
A good concussion plan needs more than rest and hope. These are the areas we commonly assess when helping junior athletes return to learning, exercise and AFL.
What is improving, what flares and what needs medical review.
Control, confidence and stability during simple and sport-like tasks.
Dizziness, motion sensitivity, visual strain and busy environment tolerance.
Neck contribution to headaches, dizziness or movement restriction.
How the athlete responds when heart rate and physical load increase.
Walking, bike, jogging, running, acceleration and change of direction.
Football drills, contact risk, school load and match readiness.
Clear advice on screens, school, sleep, activity and when to seek help.
Clear recovery pathway
From Head Knock to Return to Play.
The guide breaks the process into simple stages so parents, coaches and players know what should happen next.
