OT-V Episode 12: Managing a Concussion

Entwistle Power Occupational Therapy presents Episode 12 of our Occupational Therapy Video series: Managing a Concussion.

In this episode we focus on how OT's assist in the recovery from a concussion and the management of post-concussion syndrome (PCS). A PCS diagnosis occurs one month after a concussion if 3 or more of the following symptoms are present:

• Fatigue
• Disordered Sleep
• Headaches
• Vertigo
• Irritability or aggression
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Personality changes
• Apathy
• Lack of spontaneity

Occupational therapy can assist with the recovery of PCS in the following ways:

• Education
• Ensuring proper rest
• Setting guidelines for return to activities of daily living, work,
school and leisure activities
• Symptom management
• Memory strategies
• and more

Concussions are serious and it is vital that anyone who has suffered this type of brain injury seek help to ensure proper recovery. An Occupational Therapist can help!
