Design: Scoping review.

Data Sources: We searched three electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL).

Multisystem recovery after sport-related concussion in adolescent rugby players: a prospective study protocol.

Introduction: Sport-related concussion is one of the most common injuries in adolescent rugby players with evidence of prolonged recovery in some concussed athletes. Concussion is a complex pathophysiological process that can affect a variety of subsystems with multifactorial presentation. Most research on adolescents recovery after concussion focuses on neurocognitive functioning and symptom outcomes over the short term.
