At a time when concussions are becoming ever more recognized as a serious, and treatable, injury, there is a higher need for evidence based skilled care for those suffering. The goals of this course are to dispel common myths and misconceptions regarding brain injuries and empower clinicians that may feel they have a gap in knowledge on managing concussions.
OBJECTIVES:
- Understand concussion pathophysiology and prevalence and how this may influence care
- Confidently test, identify, and treat impairments related to concussions and identify and address factors that may seem unrelated to concussion
- Recognize prognostic factors and develop an appropriate plan of care for all presentations
- Become confident on discharge criteria and evidence based return to sport planning and testing
Two-Day Format
Day one will primarily consist of lecture to understand underlying mechanisms of concussion and how specific rehabilitation and recommendations can help patients.
Day two, attendees should come ready to move in comfortable athletic clothing and footwear for immersive lab interactions regarding higher level treatment and return to sport testing.
The second day will build heavily off of day one material and consist of a review during the first hour of the course. A hard copy learning assessment will be distributed to all participants and will be reviewed by the course instructors on the second day.
