1. Postconcussion Syndrome: What Is It, and Who’s at Risk?
This chapter helps therapists to understand factors that define and contribute to postconcussion syndrome. A case of a 47-year-old female who had a concussion due to a motor vehicle collision five months prior is used to illustrate many of the biophysical factors that negatively impact her ability to recover from her injury.
2. Management of Chronic Concussion: Concepts for Therapists
Many concepts for treating persons with persisting symptoms post concussion are presented, promoting the biopsychosocial model of care. Strategies such as positive messaging and using cognitive behavioral therapy principles are emphasized throughout case examples of a 53-year-old female and a 19-year-old soccer player who are both experiencing chronic symptoms and disability after concussions.
3. Complex Postconcussion Case Discussion
A 44-year-old male recreational hockey player presented five years after sustaining a concussion. At the start of care, he was only able to work ten hours a week and was unable to participate in family activities. We demonstrate how using cognitive behavioral techniques and a team approach led to a full recovery.
4. Postconcussion Syndrome From the Patient Perspective
A woman who was experiencing significant disability for five months following a concussion talks with Dr. Mucha about her rehab journey and how she was able to return to full-time work and parenting of two young children. She describes how early treatments and advice actually hindered recovery, and highlights what was most helpful in her rehabilitation process.
