Abstract summary 

The case sets the foundation for clinical protocols to incorporate mobile EEG and qEEG techniques, instrumental balance testing, and mood symptom screening in athletes who have suffered a sports-related concussion. The protocol provides a framework for clinicians to monitor a patient's recovery progress in terms of brainwave activity, general cognition, moods, and motor control. Objective data obtained through the protocol may assist in developing personalized treatment plans, improving follow-up care, and identifying residual brain function deficits that may be missed in standardized clinical exams. Finally, this case highlights a need for more thorough communication and testing procedures that screen for mood symptoms and provide an opportunity for athletes to discuss their mental health after suffering from an SRC.
