Between the growing numbers of children and adolescents playing
sports and the increased attention to head injuries by the larger
sports community and the general public, pediatric concussions are
emerging as a major concern. And as practitioners are seeing more
young clients with head injuries, questions arise about
age-appropriate assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and return to
activity. Pediatric and Adolescent Concussion: Diagnosis,
Management, and Outcomes offers evidence-based guidelines where few
previously existed. This comprehensive volume clearly explains the
effects of traumatic injury on the developing brain in sports- and
non-sports-related contexts, and establishes a framework for
immediate and long-term management, especially the crucial first 24
hours. Chapters provide a basic grounding in its subject with a
history of concussion as a medical entity and a review of
definitional and classification issues, take the reader through the
steps of a neuropsychological evaluation, pinpoint post-injury
issues, and offer strategies for the prevention of further or
future injury. Pediatric and Adolescent Concussion: Diagnosis,
Management, and Outcomesserves as both educational resource and
practical framework for a wide array of professionals, including
neuropsychologists, sports medicine physicians, child psychologists
and psychiatrists, pediatric and family physicians, athletic
trainers, social workers, and educators."
