Study summary

Concussions, a significant type of sports injury caused by head, face, or neck trauma, are common in contact sports and require serious attention due to potential fatal consequences of mismanagement. The Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT), developed by the Concussion in Sport Group (CISG) and updated in 2023, provides a standardized approach to assess head injuries and manage athletes' return-to-sport process. While SCAT has been adapted into various languages, no Turkish version exists. This study aims to translate and culturally adapt SCAT 6 into Turkish, contributing to the accurate evaluation and management of concussion injuries among Turkish-speaking athletes.
