This course will address specific examination tools, treatment interventions, and return-to-play considerations for the adolescent athlete sustaining a sports-related concussion. The multifactorial domains of concussion rehabilitation will be addressed for each section of rehabilitation to include cervical musculoskeletal system, vestibulo-oculomotor function, autonomic dysfunction/exertional tolerance, and motor function. The general physical therapy practitioner lacks experience in treating a sports-related concussion in the adolescent athlete due to lack of patient volume in the clinic and decreased course accessibility. This course will help to bridge the gap and provide the viewer with baseline knowledge in examining, treating, and returning to sport the adolescent athlete who sustained a sports-related concussion.

Ensuring excellent care for the adolescent athlete presenting with upper extremity injuries can be a daunting task for the general physical therapist. Returning an adolescent athlete to sport is an intricate process that physical therapists can help guide their patients through. This course will guide the physical therapist through several evidence-based assessments and instruct in multiple treatment strategies specific to the impairments addressed. This course will also describe various return-to-play criteria for use when treating upper extremity diagnoses in the adolescent patient. The general practitioner often does not see a sufficient number of pediatric patients to establish a thorough examination and treatment process or return-to-play considerations. This course aims to bridge the gap and provide a general orthopedic physical therapist with the tools necessary to rehabilitate the adolescent athlete from an upper extremity injury.
