DMC Instructor: Dr. Rebecca Bliss PT, DPT, DHSc
Participants: 25 Medical Professionals at $400 each
Course Level: Intermediate
CEUs: 14 contact hours
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of the course participants will be able to:
1) Describe pathophysiology of concussion and current diagnostic and management strategies employed both on the field and in the clinic.
2) Identify potential symptomology following concussion to include cognitive, orthopedic, neurological, physiological and psychological dysfunction.
3) Compare and contrast differences between special populations to include pediatrics, general population, older adults, sport and elite athletes in regard to concussion management.
4) Discuss objective testing utilized to include sideline assessment tools, computerized neurocognitive testing, and specific measures for cervical, ocular, vestibular and exertional impairments.
5) Perform a comprehensive concussion evaluation to include cervical examination, vestibular ocular examination and exertional testing to quantify impairments commonly occurring with concussion injury.
6) Identify driving subtypes via clinical trajectories specific to individual patients to facilitate return to sport/activity in a timely fashion when appropriate.
7) Compare and contrast current evidence on the activity recovery models with guided active rehabilitation strategies when appropriate to include decision making on initiation of return to play/activity protocol.
8) Design appropriate impairment-based treatment plans based on clinical trajectories and driving subtypes that are multi-modal based on principles of neuroplasticity.
9) Employ functional task specific training that address post concussive impairments and ensure client is safe to return to sport and/or activity.
10) Identify patients that need referral to neuropsychology, neurology or possible neuro-optometry for further assistance in post concussive management.
11) Discuss patient and education on current evidence regarding residual effects and potential sequelae from concussion injury.
12) Describe state of current high vs. low-tech technology available for both diagnostic and intervention
