The importance of making the CRT6 tool available to society is that, in the case of sports, most participants are amateurs and do not have access to medical support during matches. Therefore, with this tool, the coach can recognize that a player has suffered a concussion and can act accordingly, removing the player from the field and referring them to a doctor for treatment.
The Concussion Rapid Recognition Technique (Pocket CRT) serves as a reminder of the signs and symptoms of concussion.
The function of CRT6 is to IDENTIFY and REMOVE. If any of the signs or symptoms listed on page 1 of the Rapid Concussion Recognition Technique are identified and/or the player does not correctly answer the five memory questions on page 2 of the Rapid Concussion Recognition Technique, the player MUST be removed from the field of play for a thorough medical examination.
