2 Background Falls and transport- related incidents (motor vehicle, ATV, bicycle) account for 81% of concussions. Falls are the main cause of concussion-related hospitalization. There were 2,766 concussion-related injuries (Hospital Morbidity Database in Canada) that resulted in hospitalizations in 2010/2011. These do not account for the vast numbers that are not recorded, with uncomplicated concussions who did not attend the hospital. Estimates of the prevalence of self-reported post concussional symptoms at 3 months post-trauma vary between 75-80%. Research has shown that individual s beliefs about the nature and severity of their injury and expectations regarding recovery significantly predict the development of post concussive symptoms. Ultimately, this predicts recovery duration and functional outcome. Research has also demonstrated that a brief early intervention including education about the expected recovery can reduce the incidence of post concussive syndrome, with fewer reported symptoms and symptomatic duration at the 6 month post injury follow up.
3 Purpose The purpose of the service is to: Provide early intervention to individuals ages 13 years and older who have recently suffered from a concussion, and may or may not have been diagnosed by a medical professional. Provide an initial diagnostic assessment (neuropsychological screen) in order to identify any difficulties the client may be experiencing and to provide recommendations regarding treatment. Provide effective and timely treatment with the provision of verbal and written education, reassurance, techniques for reducing symptoms and recommendations for gradual resumption of premorbid activities. Prevent long-term consequences such as post-concussion syndrome (PCS) by identifying clients at risk of PCS and providing them with effective interventions and education early in their recovery. Goal: The service aims to: Identify the client s needs and risk factors as soon as possible. Educate with verbal and written information on concussion and recovery duration. Develop an individualized rehabilitation program that will facilitate a return to activities at home, school and or work.
