Multi-method proof-of-concept evaluation for R2Play: a novel multi-domain return-to-play assessment tool for concussion.

ABSTRACT: Return-to-play (RtoP) clearance after concussion typically involves single- and dual-task assessments that do not reflect the speed or complexity of sport. We developed R2Play, a dynamic multi-domain assessment tool for concussion. This study aimed to (1) demonstrate proof of concept for R2Play by evaluating alignment with design objectives (easy to use, fun, sport-like, clinically valuable, resource efficient, and flexible); and (2) document subsequent iterations to R2Play design. A multi-method evaluation was performed wherein clinicians were paired with youth to test R2Play together and complete separate semi-structured interviews. Quantitative metrics included the System Usability Scale (SUS), heart rate (HR), ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), assessment durations, and R2Play comple
