1 Concussion 101 Presented by: Jason Viel MS LAT ATC Kacey Morrison, BS, MAT, ATC(L), CSCS
2 Objectives Recognize common features and symptoms of concussion Exposure to current concussion testing systems Understand the principles of concussion management Understand the return to learn and return to play principles Understand the role you may play in the concussion management process
3 It s Just a Concussion
4 Definition con cus sion noun \kən-ˈkə-shən\ : an injury to the brain that is caused by something hitting the head very hard ( US ) ( Brit )
5 Identifying a Concussion What we think should look like this.
6 Identifying a Concussion often times is more like this.
7 Concussion Facts or Myths?! Statement #1: Everyone with a concussion needs a CT scan or MRI right away. Statement #2: You should not treat the headache from concussion with any medications because you might mask some symptoms. Statement #3: Someone with a concussion should be woken up every 2-3 hours. Statement #4: Children recover at the same rate as adults. Statement #5: A concussion requires loss of consciousness. Statement #6: There are no long term effects of concussion. Statement #7: An athlete needs to be hit on the head to sustain a concussion. Statement #8: Injury to the brain only occurs at the initial impact of the concussion. Statement #9: Helmets and equipment will prevent concussion if the newest model is used.
8 2013 Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport: 4 th International Conference on Concussions, Zurich Identified common features 1. Direct blow to the head OR impulsive force transmitted through the head 2. Rapid onset short-lived neurological impairments 3. More of a functional disturbance rather than a structural one 4. Core set of common features/clinical signs which may or may not involve a loss of consciousness
9 Clinical Features of a Concussion SLEEP DISTURBANCE Excessive Unable to initiate Unable to sustain Fragmented SOMATIC LOC/Amnesia Coordination Balance/dizzy Headache COGNITIVE Reaction time Memory Attention Fogginess BEHAVIOR Mood Irritability Labile
10 Most Commonly reported Symptoms (Lovell, Collins et al 2004) High School & College Athletes - within 3 days of injury N = 515 # 1 Headache 71 % # 2 Feeling slowed down 58 % # 3 Difficulty concentrating 57 % # 4 Dizziness 55 % # 5 Fogginess 53 % # 6 Fatigue 50 % # 7 Visual Blurring/double vision 49 % # 8 Light sensitivity 47 % # 9 Memory dysfunction 43 % #10 Balance dysfunction 43%
11 What happens to the brain Blunt trauma
12 Coup-Counter Coup
13 Diffuse Axonal Injury 2 categories Primary - from the initial blow or insult, shearing of axons Secondary occurs hours to days later, most likely due to injury and altered homeostasis due to initial impact and cellular damage More of a process than a single event
14 Metabolic Cascade following Concussion 1. Release of neurotransmitters- Glutamate 2. Massive neuron firing. Creates large cellular demand. 3. Ca+ influx blocking oxygen preventing cellular respiration 4. K+ efflux cause vasoconstriction 5. This prevents fuel, glucose, from getting to the cells. 6. This leads to cellular death and dysfunction = an ENERGY CRISIS that can last for 7 to 10 days (Giza CC, Hovda DA. 2001)
15 Metabolic Cascade following Concussion
16
17 Incidence and Prevalence 12 yr study showed Football accounted for more than 50% of all concussions Lincoln et al 2011 Girls Soccer accounted for the most concussions in girls sports From concussion rate increased 4.2 fold Lincoln et al 2011 Lincoln et al In sports with boys and girls teams (i.e. soccer, basketball, baseball/softball) girls had a higher rate of concussion than the boys. Lincoln et al 2011 Concussion Rates for helmeted boys sports rose at nearly twice that of non-helmeted sports. Lincoln et al 2011
18 Epidemiology of Concussion Marar et al in 2012 studied one school district and 20 sports during the school year 66% of all concussions occurred in competition and 34% in practice Football accounted for the most concussions, girls soccer was second followed by wrestling and girls basketball. Most common symptoms reported were Headache (94.2%) Dizziness (75.6%) Concentration difficulty (54.8%) Confusion (45%) Light sensitivity (36%) Nausea (31.4%) Girls had a higher rate of concussion than boys in gender-comparable sports Most student-athletes missed more than 1 week of sports activity
19 Football accounted for the most concussions, girls soccer was second followed by wrestling and girls basketball.
20 Girls had a higher rate of concussion than boys in gender-comparable sports
21 Girls vs. Boys and Concussions In sports where boys and girls can boy play, girls have a higher rate of concussion incidence Concussions also represent a greater proportion of all injuries in girls compared to boys Biomechanical differences in the head and neck Girls may also be more honest about reporting injuries Girls had a higher proportion of player-playing surface contact and player-equipment contact Girls also had a higher proportion of recurrent concussions
22 Girls vs. Boys and Concussions
23 State Legislation Currently 49 of the 50 states have some form of legislation regarding concussions and sport Iowa and Illinois both passed in 2011 Washington State was the first in 2009 Arkansas is only state without
24 State Legislation In Iowa and Illinois any athlete suspected of concussion is to be removed from competition until cleared by an allied health care professional Also all athletes 7 th -12 th grade and their parents/guardians must be given and sign off on information regarding concussions prior to practicing All coaches of 7 th -12 th graders must complete an online concussion informational course prior to their season starting In Iowa that health care professional can be MD, DO, Athletic Trainer, Physical Therapist, Chiropractor, Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant In Illinois that health care profession can be MD, DO or Athletic Trainer
25 Illinois Public Act Reiterates that only Health Care Professionals able to diagnose or clear a concussion is MD, DO, ATC(L) Mandates that any IHSA participating school have a Concussion Oversight Team Prioritizes and formally addresses the Return to Learn Updates evidence based emphasis on Return to Play
26 Management of Concussions When available some sort of baseline test should be used Most common are ImPACT, Concussion Vital Signs, CogSport, Axon, Sideline Assessment of Concussion (SAC), SCAT3 When using these tests must keep in mind that they are only a tool to help with recognition and management of concussions not a clearance. Newer concussion management tool being used by Rock Valley Physical Therapy C3 Logix (Cleveland Clinic Concussion Management)

30 Return to Learn 5 Phase Framework Identifying what the student can do without increasing symptoms Avoiding triggers that worsen symptoms Entry point into the framework is variable and dependent upon symptom severity Symptom specific accommodations in place to assist the student return to school as timely as possible
31 Return to Learn Phase 1: NO SCHOOL Symptom Severity: High symptom load that prevent him or her from being able to benefit from being in school. Physical symptoms typically interfere with even basic tasks. Treatment: physical and mental rest as much as possible Interventions: No activities that exacerbate symptoms such as TV, video games, computer use, phone or music Other triggers that worsen symptoms noted and avoided to help promote healing No physical activity
32 Return to Learn Phase 2: HALF DAY ATTENDANCE WITH ACCOMMODATIONS Symptom Severity: Manageable symptoms basic tasks achieved but symptoms may be exacerbated by complex mental activities Treatment: Balance rest with gradual reintroduction to school, avoid worsening symptoms and triggers Interventions: Part day attendance with focus on core subjects prioritize what classes to attend and how often Symptoms reported by student addressed with specific accommodations Eliminate busy work Homework eliminated or reduced, out of school emphasis is on rest No physical activity
33 Return to Learn Phase 3: FULL DAY ATTENDANCE WITH ACCOMMODATIONS Symptom Severity: Symptoms in this stage diminished in both number and severity, short time spans with known triggers do not have drastic effects on symptom levels Treatment: As student improves, gradually increase demands by increasing amount of work, length of time spent on work, difficulty of work. Gradually reintroduce known symptom triggers for short periods of time. Interventions: Full day attendance, continue to prioritize assignments, tests and projects, limit to one test per day. Prioritize in class learning, gradually increase amount of homework Reported symptoms addressed by specific accommodations with gradual reduction as symptoms wane and resolve No physical activity
34 Return to Learn Phase 4: FULL DAY ATTENDANCE WITHOUT ACCOMMODATIONS Symptom Severity: Student should not have symptoms Treatment: Accommodations are removed when student can fully function without them Interventions Construct a plan to finish completing missed academic work and keep stress levels low No physical activity until released by an MD or ATC
35 Return to Learn ACCOMMODATIONS: must be reasonable must be requested by student or guardian must be reported to Concussion Oversight Team
36 Return to Learn Phase 5: FULL SCHOOL AND EXTRACURRICULARS Symptom Severity: No symptoms are present Treatment: No accommodations are needed Interventions Before returning to sports participation student should complete the graduated return to play protocol
37 Return to Play No athlete should return to play if concussion is suspected Return to play should take around 1 week and be a graduated process Each step must be 24 hours in between and athlete must be asymptomatic If symptoms return athlete must go back to previous step once symptoms resolve.
38 Return to Play Sample RTP Day 1: Asymptomatic and return to school for full day, light aerobic exercise (stationary bike or jogging) Day 2: More strenuous aerobic activity including sport specific drills (running, cutting) no contact of any kind Sport drills without body contact. Such as pass catching, running with ball in football. Dribbling and spot shooting in basketball. Dribbling or passing/shooting on side in soccer, no contact Day 3: Begin full contact drills but no full practice Day 4: Full Practice no limitations Day 5: Release for game play

40 Recovery 80-90% of sports related concussions resolve within 2 weeks of the inciting event (Makdissi et al., 2010; McClincy et al., 2006; McCrea et al., 2009, 2013; McCrory et al., 2013) 10-20% experience a protracted recovery greater than 2 weeks A smaller percentage the miserable minority can develop symptoms that may persist for months to even years
41 On field predictors for prolonged recovery Headache (Guskiewicz 2008) Dizziness (Guskiewicz 2008, Lau et al 2011) On Field Amnesia (Collins 2003, McCrea et al 2013) Loss of consciousness (McCrea et all 2013)
42 Risk Factors for Poor Recovery Prior History of Injury (More is not better) (Collins et al., 2002; Eisenberg et al., 2013; Guskiewicz et al., 2003; Kerr et al., 2012; Schatz et al., 2011; Zemper, 2003). Younger Age? (Be more conservative with children) Gender? (Women may be at increased risk)
43 Post Concussive Syndrome Term used to describe the constellation of symptoms after concussion Originally used when symptoms lasted longer than 3 months Controversial What are the causes of persistent symptoms? Does such a syndrome exist? Overlap of symptoms with other conditions Neurological vs. psychological?
44 Post Concussive Syndrome Ongoing symptoms are either a prolonged version of the concussion pathophysiology or a manifestation of other processes, such as cervical injury, migraine headaches, depression, chronic pain, vestibular dysfunction, visual dysfunction, or some combination of conditions. The pathophysiology of ongoing symptoms from the original concussion injury may reflect multiple causes: anatomic, neurometabolic, and physiologic. (Leddy JJ, et al. 2012)
45 Public Misconceptions about mtbi 60% agree... How quickly a person recovers from head injury depends mainly on how hard they work at recovering. 40% agree... Sometimes a second blow to the head can help a person remember things that were forgotten. (Gillumet and Paglia, 2004)
46 Post Concussive Syndrome Risk Factors for a prolonged recovery Re-injury before complete recovery Over-exertion, especially early after injury Significant stress Prior illness or injury
47 Second Impact Syndrome Extremely Rare Almost always fatal (McCrory and Berkovic 1998) Preston Plevretes E:60 Second Impact - YouTube
48 Education Currently no test done at the hospital will diagnose a concussion. CT Scans/MRI s are to rule out brain bleeds etc If medication is given we recommend that it does not have an NSAID in it.
