Comprehensive Concussion Management: From Foundation to Mastery in Rehabilitation Practice

Saturday, September 20, 2025, 8:00 AM - Sunday, September 21, 2025, 6:00 PM, West Campus, Katy, TX


AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (14.75 hours), CEU (14.75 hours), Non-Physician Attendance (14.75 hours)

This two day in-person course integrates foundational, intermediate, and advanced concussion management strategies to equip rehabilitation professionals with evidence-based knowledge and clinical tools across the continuum of care. Participants will progress from core concepts to mastery-level strategies through lecture, case-based reasoning, hands-on labs, and collaborative discussion. The course addresses evolving definitions, clinical trajectory models, dual-tasking, sensory-motor integration, sports specific demands, and neurocognitive interventions, preparing clinicians to manage complex concussion presentations with precision and confidence.

1. Critically analyze the current definitions, diagnostic criteria, and epidemiological trends of concussion to differentiate evolving clinical classifications and implications for healthcare delivery across populations.
2. Synthesize detailed anatomical and physiological knowledge of the brain and sensorimotor systems to explain the pathophysiological underpinnings of concussion and predict clinical manifestations within the context of trajectory-based models of recovery.
3. Apply and adapt comprehensive, evidence-based frameworks to evaluate and treat concussion by integrating multimodal assessment data with clinical expertise and patient-specific goals, ensuring best practice decision making.
4. Distinguish and defend differential diagnoses between post-concussive symptomatology and functional neurological disorder (FND) overlay through complex clinical reasoning, pattern recognition, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
5. Develop and execute dual-tasking and sensory-motor progression strategies by analyzing phase-specific recovery variables and adapting interventions to support reintegration into meaningful functional and cognitive roles.
6. Integrate and prioritize clinical findings to formulate targeted treatment strategies addressing headache phenotypes, exertion intolerance, and cervicogenic impairments, ensuring comprehensive and personalized care plans.
7. Conduct and interpret advanced visual system assessments and design neurocognitive rehabilitation protocols that optimize oculomotor performance, visual-motor integration, and return-to-learn/play outcomes.
8. Design and justify individualized return-to-sport progression plans by incorporating sport-specific biomechanical, cognitive, and psychological demands, while applying evidence-based criteria to guide safe reintegration to performance.
9. Critically evaluate and select appropriate low- and high-tech tools for concussion assessment and treatment based on patient presentation, setting, and clinical goals; compare technological modalities for clinical value and cost-effectiveness.
10. Examine and synthesize the role of pharmacological agents, nutritional strategies, and injury prevention programming within an interdisciplinary concussion management plan, and evaluate their effectiveness based on current research and clinical outcomes.
