Healthclick introduces new Continuing Education to assist in the Rehabilitation of Sports Related Concussions
There are between 1.7 and 3 million sports concussions per year. Many concussions still go undiagnosed or underdiagnosed, which costs the athlete valuable time, and the medical system unneeded costs. Learn the pathophysiology of sport-related concussion, evidence-based tools and strategies for diagnosis, and optimal treatment strategies. Medical professionals trained in concussion management have a structured team approach to pre and post-management of concussions tend to have better outcomes, leading to an overall better quality of life for their clients/athletes.
FRANKLIN, Tenn., Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sports Concussion Physical Therapy Continuing Education, to assist physical and Occupational therapists learn about this pathophysiological process affecting the brain. Concussion is a pathophysiological process affecting the brain, induced by direct or indirect biomechanical forces. For example; If you are in a car accident or think there was a whiplash-associated injury and your body sustains a force, that head may never have impacted anything. There may never have been a hit to the windshield, or with an athlete, that head-to-head helmet collision, or head-to-earth, or ground, or turf collision. Sometimes it is just the sheer biomechanical forces that occur to the body that reverberate into the head.
Imagine you had a bowl of jello. That bowl is the skull, and the brain is the jello. As you shake the bowl, what happens to the jello inside the bowl? It sloshes back and forth, and when that sloshing happens, there is a break in the brain's connections that generally occur. It is that temporary loss of functional activity that then causes some of the signs and symptoms associated with concussion.
