Is there a relationship between psychological resilience and persisting symptoms associated with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and orthopedic injuries in children? A recent study found that over time, children with higher resilience reported fewer symptoms regardless of whether they experienced an mTBI or orthopedic injury. Parent reports of their children’s symptoms were similar. Teaching skills to foster resilience in children is recommended to improve outcome after mTBI and orthopedic injuries.
