Post-acute structured exercise following sport concussion: a randomized controlled study
EF 2017-18
Résumé
There is emerging evidence challenging prescribed rest in the management of concussion. This stems from evidence demonstrating the efficacy of aerobic exercise shortly after trauma in the treatment of various injuries related to the central nervous system (e.g., stroke, back pain, and whiplash), as well as the reported benefits of aerobic exercise in patients with persistent symptoms from concussion. Therefore, the purpose of the proposed study is to examine the effect of a standardized, aerobic exercise intervention in adolescents and young adults after sport-related concussion on time to recovery compared to usual clinical care.
