Overview
This activity will provide education by an internationally recognized faculty to improve understanding of the dynamics of sports concussion.
Goal Statements
Main Program
The goal of the symposium is to provide state-of-the-art research and clinical information related to the science and practice of sports concussion and concussion management from a multidisciplinary and internationally-recognized faculty. Specific topics that will be addressed include: how concussion legislation has contributed to improving safety in youth sports, the importance of prioritizing pediatrics in concussion research, a review of causes and treatment for youth with prolonged symptoms, an analysis of the effectiveness of head protection equipment in sports for reducing the risk of concussion, how behavioral interventions can reduce head impact exposure in football, current ethical topics related to the clinical practice of concussion care, the role that culture plays in concussion evaluation and management, the psychometric basis and techniques for using serial assessment to make clinical decisions, methods for predicting recovery from concussion and associated methods for rehabilitation, an examination of the current status of biomarkers in concussion assessment, a review of the past, present and future of concussion practice, how fear avoidance of pain can affect recovery and should be considered in treatment planning, the role of sports psychology in concussion care, and how a practitioner may use telehealth in clinical practice with concussion. These educational topic areas build upon established experience knowledge and skills for both the practitioner and researcher working in the area of sports concussion.
Pre-Conference
The goal of the symposium is to provide an intermediate level of educational material that builds on foundational knowledge about concussion by reviewing specific factors that may influence clinical management. Topics include the role that gender may play in concussion management, recognizing and treating persisting symptoms following concussion, practical treatment considerations when working with pediatric populations, and special issues that may be relevant for treating collegiate athletes. These educational topics will build on an already basic understanding of concussion by providing greater depth for any practitioner working in the area of sports concussion.
