'Considering the circumstances ... this is best-case scenario,' Cole Cusitar said.
New research at the University of Saskatchewan may one day lead to early detection of concussions as scientists work to develop a portable test for diagnosing the brain injury.
The test could be used by paramedics at an accident scene or by a team doctor on a sports field.
A team of researchers are looking into a link between concussions and elevated protein levels in the blood stream.
Saskatchewan sees about 6,000 concussion each year.
