Sports medicine already runs the sideline exam and the clearance visit. Kavera runs everything in between.
The gap
Two or three dense visits in the first two weeks, then silence until the athlete wants to be cleared. The graduated return-to-sport protocol needs evidence each stage was tolerated, and that evidence lives in the gap.
What Kavera runs for a sports medicine practice
- Concussion. First-visit battery including SAC, BESS, VOMS and King-Devick. Weekly PCSS check-ins, brain training, SDMT and Digit Span against baseline. Exertion testing results and at-home vestibular rehab tracked.
- Return-to-play and return-to-learn with a documented trajectory behind every stage.

FAQ
Does Kavera replace sideline assessment?
No. Sideline scores can be entered; the program starts at the first clinic visit. See sideline vs. clinic.
Pediatric athletes as well as adults?
Yes. Instruments and cadence are assigned per patient. See pediatric vs. adult protocols.
Who administers the assessments?
The athlete on their phone between visits; you or your staff in the office.
Is RTM appropriate for every concussion patient?
No. Athletes who recover in a week don't need a monitoring program. The ones who don't are the ones it was built for.
How does Kavera compare to other options?
