The CHOC multidisciplinary team of concussion experts can help prevent and treat concussions, as well as help patients ease back in to school and sports. Careful supervision is essential for young persons with concussions, since their brains are still developing.
In this episode of CHOC Radio, Dr. Sharief Taraman, a pediatric neurologist, Dr. Jonathan Minor, a sports medicine specialist, Jenn Ahlswede, a speech language pathologist, and Mollee Oh, a physical therapist and rehabilitation supervisor, discuss:
- SCAT3, an assessment tool parents and coaches can use immediately after an incident occurs
- The film “Concussion,” and how concussions affect kids and teens differently than adults
- Recommendations for cognizant and physical rest periods after sustaining a concussion
CHOC Radio theme music by Pat Jacobs.
