Medical consensus once held that all concussions were the same, and
treatment for all concussion patients therefore followed the same
standard approach. In this volume, Anthony Kontos and Michael
Collins debunk the one-size-fits-all approach, arguing instead that
individuals who experience concussion respond best to targeted
interventions based on their specific clinical profile of symptoms
and impairment. In fact, the most commonly prescribed management
strategy-rest-can actually prolong recovery time for some
individuals. The authors present a comprehensive, team-based model
for assessment and treatment of concussion. Assessment should
involve an interdisciplinary lineup that evaluates the patient
across multiple domains, including vestibular and oculomotor
function, cognitive fatigue, post-traumatic migraine, and
anxiety/mood. Based on the individual's clinical profile, treatment
should actively target the affected domains. The book combines
empirical evidence with case examples, with special attention to
at-risk populations such as athletes, military, and youth. This
resource is essential reading for those who assess, treat, or
research concussion, including professionals and students in
clinical-counseling psychology, neuropsychology, neurology,
neurosurgery, optometry, pediatrics, physical therapy, primary
care, sports medicine, and athletic training.
