Johna K. Register-Mihalik and Janna Fonseca - Dual-Task Rehabilitation Paradigms in Your Concussion Management Plan

Recent recommendations suggest athletes complete a progressive return-to-play following a concussion.

 

Advancements in the field also suggest the evidence based need for more integrated and functional activities during progressive return to participation.

 

A number of potential rehabilitation strategies following concussion have been proposed, particularly those using divided attention and dual-task strategies.

 

In that regard, Dual-Task Rehabilitation Paradigms in Your Concussion Management Plan, with Johna K. Reigster-Mihalik and Joanna Fonseca, provides an overview of the evidence and implementation strategies of using dual-task paradigms as a part of appropriate concussion management protocols.

 

The video also addresses how to design a dual-task paradigm for use in clinical practice.

 

Among the topics covered:

• Prolonged recovery and concussion
• Think beyond test scores
• A couple of ways to use dual-task
• Physical rest and progressive return
• Rehabilitation strategies
• Things affecting performance
• Dual-task interventions in concussion
• What is the vestibular system?
• Use of dual-task
