For: PT, ATC, PTA, OT, COTA, NP, PA-C, M.D.
This course is designed to provide practitioners with the didactic and clinical skills necessary to successfully manage individuals with post-concussive symptoms and participate in return to play/learn/work decisions. Particular attention is focused on treatment-based classification of this complex condition. Participants will leave the weekend intensive with a robust understanding of cervical, ocular, vestibular, and exertional assessment and treatment techniques to safely and effectively manage concussions. Furthermore, an emphasis will be placed on identifying and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team.
Course Objectives/Outcomes

- Demonstrate a comprehensive physical examination to diagnose and/or recognize concussion signs and symptoms in the pediatric to geriatric patient
- Demonstrate specific interventions to address specific concussion clinical profiles and modifiers: ocular, vestibular, post-traumatic migraine, cognitive fatigue, anxiety/mood, cervical and autonomic
- Articulate the interdisciplinary model necessary to appropriately care for the chronic post-concussive patient and be able to identify which patients would benefit from referral to other health care providers

-
I went from never having treated a patient post-concussion to feeling like I had a solid understanding of what a concussion is and what it isn’t, as well as what the emerging technologies/treatment philosophies are in order to feel confident going into concussion evaluation in the future.
-
I learned more than I expected to and walked away feeling more confident than I expected. The instructors approached the weekend with excitement and openness and created an environment where thoughtful discussion took place. There was extensive lab time to actually practice skills with helpful critiques from instructors and participants alike.
