You can have high concussion rates in rugby, soccer, basketball. You can have them in all the sports. It’s a matter of what can we do to mitigate it. Studies have shown it’s not usually the first concussion that’s the problem. It’s when the kid goes to return to play and suffers another concussion after that and then another one after that. With something like King-Devick, if we can pull them out when they suffer the initial injury, now we have really reduced their chance to have a real serious injury out of it.” [Read More ›](https://info.kingdevicktest.com/2015/08/19/rebels-football-ahead-of-the-curve-in-concussion-protocols-for-players) - Aug 15 2015 - [0](https://info.kingdevicktest.com/2015/08/15/yale-joins-mhsaa-concussion-testing-pilot-program#comments-listing) ## [Yale joins MHSAA concussion testing pilot program](https://info.kingdevicktest.com/2015/08/15/yale-joins-mhsaa-concussion-testing-pilot-program) - August 15 2015 [Concussions](https://info.kingdevicktest.com/topic/concussions), [High School](https://info.kingdevicktest.com/topic/high-school), [Press](https://info.kingdevicktest.com/topic/press), [Youth Athletes](https://info.kingdevicktest.com/topic/youth-athletes) - [0](https://info.kingdevicktest.com/2015/08/15/yale-joins-mhsaa-concussion-testing-pilot-program#comments-listing) [Concussions](https://info.kingdevicktest.com/topic/concussions), [High School](https://info.kingdevicktest.com/topic/high-school), [Press](https://info.kingdevicktest.com/topic/press), [Youth Athletes](https://info.kingdevicktest.com/topic/youth-athletes) “We are excited to be a part of this,” Yale Athletic Director Maureen Klocke said. “We have had our share of injuries like everyone else.

This article demonstrates that KDT testing of every player after every sporting event in which a concussion could have occurred, can be an effective tool to determine a player’s removal from play and a resulting referral to the player’s doctor, even if the concussion was not witnessed during the game.

Athletes must equal or better their previous baseline test score in a set amount of time to get back into a game — and that is if they are otherwise asymptomatic. "Kids are still not honest. They want to work through it," Herceg said.

Each injury liaison performs a King-Devick test, a two-minute test conducted on the sidelines that requires a player to read single digit numbers displayed on cards, to check to see if there are any symptoms of head injuries.

Essentially, the King-Devick tool allows the coaches to compare a player’s typical brain function – as each player is baseline-tested before the season – with the player’s function directly after a suspected concussion.
