Abstract:
This presentation will provide an update on the status of concussion comma including a discussion of issues such as recovery time, the impact on brain functioning & treatment and rehabilitation issues. This is an important topic as clinicians and researchers attempt to understand sports related head injuries, traumatic head injuries associated with violence and war, and head injuries suffered as part of life including those sustained in household accidents and motor vehicle accidents. A discussion of predictors of clinical recovery will be included including predictors for return to work and school following a concussion. Recommendations will be discussed including recommendations for treatment, exercise, and medical intervention which might facilitate recovery. It is hoped that the attendee we’ll obtain a clear understanding of the status of concussion research and treatment as a result of this overview.
