General Understanding

Each individual is different and each concussion is different; it’s a complex problem that requires deeper understanding. That’s why Sports Health Check contributes funding, on a case-by-case, to studies across concussion related issues.

Concussion Testing

Sideline concussion testing and clinical scans can vary greatly in terms of their quality of feedback. To help improve processes we provide funding for research. We also support independent testing facilities, providing funding for technical equipment.

Return to Sport Protocols

Not just return-to-play, but also work and school. Sports Health Check helps provide funding for research studies that seek a better understanding of how well concussions are being managed now, and how they can be better managed in the future.

Rehabilitation Programs

Sports Health Check arranges the access to assessment methodologies that independently measure the impact of rehabilitation programs in order to drive continuous improvement. A good example of which is the Long Live Your Brain program.

Support We’re Providing

Independent Research

Via generous donations made by the general public, and in particular former AFL footballer Shaun Smith, Sports Health Check has been able to donate equipment to Dr. Alan Pearce, a leading researcher in the concussion sector.
