What the publication reports
The statement addresses assessment, management, return to sport and impairment-specific considerations. It highlights the limitations of applying general concussion guidance directly to Para athletes.
Limits and interpretation
This 2021 statement predates the Amsterdam consensus. Read it as an impairment-specific companion to newer general guidance, not as a standalone current clearance protocol.
