Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Traumatic brain injuries that occur during sports have gained significant attention in the literature. Despite improved education and research on proper identification, risk management, and treatment, standardized methods for returning an athlete to play after a concussion are lacking in universal applicability. Current return-to-play guidelines are considered appropriate for the majority of athletes who recover within a few weeks. However, applicability of such guidelines becomes difficult when treating those athletes who experience prolonged symptoms or do not have the resources available to adequately manage complex presentations of concussions. Understanding the guidelines with consideration to special populations will assist the treating physician in providing an appropriate and individualized evaluation and treatment plan to safely return an athlete with a concussion back to play without compromising his or her health. |
