Abstract

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be able to:

• Describe evidence suggesting lingering changes in brain function after clinical recovery from youth concussion
• Identify evaluation tools which may be sensitive to lingering concussion-related changes in brain function
• Discuss how research findings may be factored into clinical care for patients with concussion

Overview

• Concussion Management (Unanswered questions)
• Science (Emerging Evidence: Resting state fMRI, Subtle motor examination)
• How do we factor emerging data into clinical care?
