Concussion Assessment & Therapy in a Clinic Setting. Date & Location TBA
This continuing education course is designed for healthcare professionals treating concussions in a clinical setting, particularly physical therapists, athletic trainers, physicians (MDs, DOs), and chiropractors. Concussions, as defined by the Concussion in Sport Group’s international consensus statements, are a complex pathophysiological process resulting from direct or indirect traumatic forces to the head, leading to a disruption of normal brain function. While most individuals recover fully within days or weeks, research shows that 15-20% experience persistent symptoms that can significantly affect their daily lives. For those with symptoms lasting beyond 10 days, rehabilitation is recommended to optimize recovery and outcomes.
This course equips professionals with the knowledge and skills to effectively assess, manage, and rehabilitate concussed athletes. It covers a comprehensive approach to post-concussion care, including graded aerobic exercise, vestibular and oculomotor therapies, manual therapy, cervical spine-specific exercises, balance training, and a gradual return-to-sport protocol. By the end of this course, participants will have a deeper understanding of the latest evidence-based practices for concussion management, enhancing their ability to improve outcomes in this complex patient population.
