360 Neuro Health, in collaboration with LifeMotion Balance Center, will host Concussion Management: What You Need to Know.
Join us for this current trends in concussion management workshop focusing on assessment and treatment post-concussion, including approaches in vestibular, vision, cervical, balance, and gait!
This includes how to transfer findings from concussion-related assessments into treatment progressions based on novel and comprehensive training activities. We will be discussing clinical pearls in both current and future trends in concussion management proving a comprehensive evaluation, including the use of targeted questionnaires to identify trajectories, perceived limitations, and/or psychological stressors that can affect outcomes.
This workshop also emphasizes how to develop targeted interventions from the evaluation, how to identify when a further referral is needed, and the importance of an interdisciplinary approach.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the participant should be able to demonstrate the following:
-

-
Obtain comprehensive intake and review of past medical history from patient and/or caregiver, including identification of yellow flags to identify psychological stressors and risk factors that may affect their outcomes.
