This course follows physical therapy patient management after treatment, during the patient's return to the community following mild brain injury, or after recovery from the acute phase of more severe brain injury. Participants will learn how to approach common persistent issues following brain injury when returning to life roles, and to identify common impairments underlying functional deficits. Course concepts are illustrated by case studies detailing real patients return to the community following brain injury.
