Cerebral concussion consists in a complex traumatic brain injury with functional repercussion, which occurs after a direct or indirect brain trauma, without abnormalities identified in imaging studies. The increasing prevalence of this injury in judo, its clinical severity and the general unawareness of the best therapeutic behavior were the necessary stimulus to conduct a specific orientation program for the sport. These procedures will allow a safe return to train and competition ensuring the athlete’s physical and cognitive integrity.
