Behavioral and Clinical Strategies in Concussion Management: Active Strategies to Improve Outcomes

Course Description

The evidence concerning exertion and rehabilitation post-concussion is evolving at a fast pace. Due to the fast pace of emerging evidence, it is challenging for clinicians to understand how to apply new evidence to their patients and families. Additionally, concussion is unique given legislation and strict policy by state organizations and other entities on when return to play and activity may be initiated. This webinar will cover the current evidence that supports best practices for exertion and rehabilitation acutely and sub-acutely following concussion and the integration of behavior change strategies and policy to ensure timely implementation of current evidence and best practices in the management of concussion.
