Occupational Therapy Interventions After a Sports-Related Concussion

Abstract

AbstractEvidence Connection articles provide a clinical application of systematic reviews developed in conjunction with the American Occupational Therapy Association’s Evidence-Based Practice Project and illustrate how the research evidence from the reviews can be used to inform and guide clinical decision making. Each article in this series summarizes the evidence from published reviews on a given topic and presents an application of the evidence to a related clinical case. This Evidence Connection article presents a case report of a college student receiving occupational therapy services after sustaining repeated sports-related concussions. The occupational therapy evaluation and intervention process is described. Systematic review briefs on interventions for people with traumatic brain injury were published in Vol. 76 (Suppl. 2) of the American Journal of Occupational Therapy.
