Course Description:
As many as 3.8 million concussions occur each year in the US due to sports and recreational
activity. If one considers concussions from falls and motor vehicle accidents, the numbers are
much higher. In this course designed for physical and occupational therapists working with
patients following a concussion, the epidemiology, biomechanics, and pathophysiology of the
injury are described. Acute management of concussion and indications for imaging are explained
with emphasis on sport concussion. The current recommendations regarding return to sports and
high-risk activity are discussed. Factors that contribute to a poor prognosis are reviewed to assist
you in assessing prognosis and developing a realistic treatment plan. In addition, highlights from
the most recent consensus document about concussion in sport and two clinical practice
guidelines are provided to update clinicians on the most recent evidence about the care of
persons following concussion.
