When is too many concussions considered TOO MANY? When is it time for an athlete to quit playing contact sports. Unfortunately, there’s no easy answer to this question as it is very individualized. There are a few things we like to look at when having these conversations with athletes. Hopefully this can help you to better determine when it should be time for you to take up a safer sport! This question came from a live Instagram Q & A that was done on January 29, 2020.

Concussion: Its Diagnosis and Treatment

injuries No Comments »

(Inside Science) — When someone arrives at an emergency room in a coma, someone with a serious brain injury, there is a long and well-established set of processes in place that allow for doctors to rapidly evaluate, triage and manage their treatment. The procedures for evaluating people who have a milder form of traumatic brain injury, a concussion, have historically been a little less well-defined. But experts say things have gotten better in recent years.

“At this point, our emergency department colleagues are quite adept at the evaluation and management of the patient with a concussion and the proper triage and steering of those patients into the expert hands, and that is often a neurosurgeon or a neurologist. But we also have primary care physicians who have sought additional specialty training. And we now have a pretty large army in the United States of people who can properly evaluate a patient with a concussion,” said David Okonkwo, clinical director at the UPMC Brain Trauma Research Center.
“It is a heterogeneous disorder. No two concussions are alike. And we see people have issues with migraines. We see people who have issues with dizziness and vestibular problems. We see other patients who have issues with memory and cognition. And then we also see patients who have a mental health manifestation of their concussion, be it in the form of anxiety or mood disturbance. These are just a short list of an even longer list of the ways in which a concussion can manifest itself,” said Okonkwo.

Dealing with concussion is complicated by the fact that people with the injury can experience completely different symptoms. The proper identification of the exact form of concussion an individual suffers is key, the experts say, because it helps to guide treatment.

“If it’s a balance-related issue, then you work on balance therapy. If it’s a visual-related issue, you work on visual therapy,” said Mark Proctor, neurosurgeon-in-chief at Boston Children’s Hospital.
For the majority of folks, treatment for a concussion starts with rest. The question of how long to rest has also evolved in recent years.

“So there used to be this concept of brain rest being, well, you put a child in a dark room until every symptom is gone. And it was discovered through some work at our hospital that that’s not always the right — well, clearly that’s not the best way to treat them. There’s a real benefit to near-total rest for about two to three days. But you don’t have to wait till someone’s completely asymptomatic before you get them out, you get them back to school, etc., because there’s other determinates such as social isolation and depression that start to factor in if you keep them out for too long,” said Proctor.

Proctor and his colleagues treat 400 to 500 mostly sports-related injuries every month at the brain injury center he directs. His experience there and the experience of doctors at other hospitals suggest a mostly good prognosis.

“For most people who sustain a concussion, there can be an expectation of the spontaneous resolution of symptoms and the spontaneous resolution of the problem over the course of days to a few weeks,” said Okonkwo.

“Eighty, 90 percent will be better in 10 to 14 days. And really no treatment is necessary other than the rest. What really is the vexing problem is that sort of 10 to 15 percent where those symptoms go on for a prolonged period of time,” said Proctor.

However, it’s very hard to predict who is going to be fine in two weeks and who isn’t. One of the challenges is that there is no specific biological test for concussion.

“We see this in so many other fields of medicine, where if you have a blood test that would clearly show that you had a concussion, that would be an enormous asset,” said Okonkwo.

Nor are there imaging biomarkers — ways of spotting a concussion on an MRI or CT scan. But many tools are now moving through development.

“We can have a reasonable expectation in the next two to three years of things crossing that FDA clearance hurdle and being put to use in routine clinical practice,” said Okonkwo.

For now, coaches and trainers have different forms of assessment tools. Cognitive tests can indicate if there’s a problem to determine if a player needs to be taken off the field, and taken to a doctor for further evaluation. Another advance that doctors hope for are better ways to treat specific types of brain injuries and concussions. There are still no existing FDA-approved drugs for the management of brain injury.

Concussion Rehab | Why Dark Room Therapy Doesn't Work

Concussion Rehab | Why Dark Room Therapy Doesn't Work

Dark room therapy is a thing of the past. The concussion rehabilitation world no longer sees this as the way we should be handling patients, and there’s a good reason for it.

In years past, patients who had concussions may have been told by their medical practitioners to go into a dark room for a while and do, nothing. Like, absolutely nothing. This seemed to help right off the hop because, I mean, a dark room can’t make your symptoms worse can it?

The problem becomes leaving the dark room. Patients were told to leave their dark room when they felt better. Feeling good surrounded by darkness and silence though, is very different from feeling good in regular life. If you’re never being exposed to the things that cause symptoms in the first place, those symptoms are unlikely to get better. In fact, your body may even become MORE sensitive to these things than they were when you started the dark room therapy in the first place!

Modern concussion rehabilitation instead focuses on progressive exposure to stimulus that can cause exposure. An analogy that can be helpful in managing symptoms can be the stoplight analogy that I outline in the video, emphasizing time spent in the “yellow light” zone where there are some symptoms, but not too much of a worsening in overall feelings.

So why watch A Physio Named Jonah?
For free videos about the human body, injuries, rehabilitation, the world of Physiotherapy, and whatever other shenanigans comes along. Maybe you can learn something new and not feel like you’re stuck in a classroom waiting for the bell to ring.

A Physio Named Jonah is a channel created by, well, exactly who you think. The channel features primarily Physiotherapy based topics, or things that it would make sense for a Physical Therapist to weigh in on. The goal is to make these often sterile topics interesting and easily accessible to anyone with a few laughs (or forced exhales from your nose if you’re alone) along the way.

Jonah is a Canadian Physiotherapist who works with a primarily outpatient orthopaedic population at a clinic in Sudbury, Ontario. He completed his Master’s of Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto, with his Bachelors of Sciences specialized in Human Kinetics coming from The University of Ottawa. He is also considered by his parents, fiancee, and 2 dogs to be a pretty cool guy.
