Monday, April 19, 2021, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM CDT

The purpose of this course is to discuss the practical application of the published clinical prediction guidelines (CPG) for concussion. The CPG discusses best practice and current trends in concussion assessment and treatment following a concussive event. However, further education is need regarding specific assessment tools that can be used to collect subjective and objective data. Due to the intentionally vague nature of the flow charts presented in the CPG this course will provide some concrete evaluative tools based current research to date. 1CCU, 1 CCU of Differential Diagnosis

1. Discuss the impairment domains related to concussion;
2. Identify subjective assessments for concussion evaluation;
3. Identify objective assessments for concussion evaluation;
4. Develop a treatment plan based on impairment domains.

The presentation is appropriate for: Intermediate/Advanced
