Helping Students to Prevent or Adjust to Concussions

Pages 65-80 | Published online: 18 Oct 2008
 

Abstract

The incidence of concussive injuries is highest in the college age population due to the active lifestyles students maintain. While most students recover from a concussion in a relatively short period of time, the sequelae are potentially disruptive to academic careers. A concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) often leaves students confused and concerned about physical symptoms and adjustment issues. Strategies are discussed to educate students and adjustment issues. Strategies are discussed to educate students and professionals about the prevention and treatment of concussive injury and specific interventions are outlines that address the physical, behavioral, and cognitive/affective symptoms associated with MTBI.
