Abstract
In 2021 the Concussion in Para Sport (CIPS) group, an international, voluntary, multidisciplinary group of para concussion-focused clinicians, researchers and athletes published the first position statement on concussion in para sport, which built on the 2017 CISG Consensus Statement.4 The prospective International Paralympic Committee injury and illness surveillance studies started in 2012, and while concussions were reported at the Pyeong Chang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games (n=4),5 the first detailed concussion information was reported for the Tokyo 2020 (n=9) and Beijing 2022 (n=4) Paralympic Games.6 7Keywords
