KIN5542H: Special Topics in Sport-Related Concussion

This course focuses on sport-related concussion and emerging evidence related to its diagnosis, assessment, intervention, and potential long-term consequences. In the first part of the course, we will review the conceptualization of the pathophysiology of sport-related concussion, and explore recent advances to our understanding in humans. The main component of the course will explore predominant clinical presentations with concussion and discuss prevalence of these issues, current best practices with respect to assessment and interventions, as well as highlight emerging approaches. During this course, we will critically evaluate the evidence on a given topic or intervention, as well as discuss future research opportunities.
