Concussion Clinical Application: Migraine, Vestibular, and Cervical

Video Runtime: 40 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 40 Minutes

Posttraumatic migraines, vestibular dysfunction, and cervical impairments are common after concussion and can significantly impact daily life. This course explores evaluation and intervention strategies for these symptom profiles, including headache management, dizziness, balance deficits, and neck pain. Participants will learn evidence-based assessments, symptom management techniques, and interdisciplinary treatment approaches. This course provides practical tools for addressing these complex postconcussion issues.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze the impact of posttraumatic migraine, vestibular dysfunction, and cervical impairments on occupational performance, including reading, mobility, and work-related tasks
• Determine appropriate clinical assessments to evaluate vestibular, migraine, and cervical symptom profiles in adults with a history of concussion
• Implement evidence-based intervention strategies to address visual, balance, and cervicogenic symptoms following concussion
• Examine interdisciplinary collaboration and referral considerations for optimizing outcomes in concussion rehabilitation
• Plan an occupation-based treatment approach that integrates visual-vestibular rehabilitation and cervical interventions to support return to daily activities and life roles
