Concussion Management Workshop - Level 2
The Level 2 Concussion Management Workshop builds on the information taught in the Level 1 course and aims to apply the treatment techniques to different complex case studies.
The learning goals of the Level 2 course are to be able to prioritize and classify assessment findings using the Integrated Neuro Systems Framework, to help determine treatment strategies and order of treatment, to review some of the latest research with a focus on the areas of vision & vestibular rehabilitation, active rehabilitation, sleep and return to work.
There will be some interactive online polling, small and large group discussion to share knowledge and enhance learning and problem solving, a shorter break out task and demonstration of some useful smartphone apps to use in rehab.
