• 80 students with concussions • “Which specific types of problems are you experiencing in school?” • Students reported an average of 4 problems below.
2 weeks?
Athletes should not be returned to play the same day of injury. When returning athletes to play, they should follow a stepwise, symptom-limited program, with stages of progression:
1. Rest until asymptomatic (physical and cognitive rest) 2. Light aerobic exercise (e.g., stationary bike) 3. Moderate exercise (e.g., treadmill, resistance training) 4. Sport-specific exercise 5. Non-contact activity 6. Full-contact activity with medical clearance 7. Return to competition
• There should be approximately 24 hours (or longer) for each stage and the athlete should drop back to the previous asymptomatic level if any post-concussive symptoms recur. resistance training should only be added in the later stages. Medical clearance should be given before return to play.
