Episode 124 - Returning To School Following Concussion

Welcome to Ask Concussion Doc. This week, we'll discuss: 

1) Can you explain neuro-fatigue? And, what exactly is happening in the brain when things get confusing or slowed way down in the brain? 

2) I saw that CCMI has a 10-day return to learn/work/play protocol. Right now, we use a 5-day return to sport protocol, but that's obviously only for our athletes. We have to abide by the MDs orders regardless, but after that we implement the protocol accordingly. Do you feel like a 5-day protocol is adequate for our situation considering we cannot make educational accommodations for patients? 

3) I have 2 elderly patients that all have dizziness and fatigue as their main symptom. Due to this population being super rigid into extension, how can I test for BPPV?

Ask Concussion Doc - Episode 5 | Mouth Guards & Vestibular Rehab

In this episode of Ask Concussion Doc with Dr. Cameron Marshall, we discuss what to do immediately after a concussion, and when should the initial assessment happen.

We also examine recovery. How do we define it? What’s the difference between asymptomatic and full metabolic recovery? When can an athlete return to activity?

Lastly, we look at concussion prevention. Does neck strength help? What about neck stiffness? Also, helmets and mouthguard are NOT proven to fully protect against concussion. So, what can we actually do to prevent them?

Sleep is an essential human function which is also very important in concussion recovery. It flushes out neurotoxins, regenerates cells, reduces the risk of anxiety and depression and much more. However, almost 50% of concussion patients experience some form of sleep deprivation. This is where blue light therapy comes in.
