Description

Concussions are heterogenous injuries with different clinical profiles that warrant individualized, targeted management strategies to optimize patient outcomes. Evidence suggests that early identification of clinical profiles and associated impairments enhance diagnosis and treatment, and inform safer return to activity decisions. A considerable proportion of healthcare providers who manage patients with concussions are not routinely exposed to this rapidly evolving clinical approach and empirical evidence. The presentation series will provide empirical evidence that can inform best clinical practice for patients with concussion across a variety of healthcare providers.
