Today for #ConcussionWeek, we will discuss how you should counsel #pediatric #concussion patients on return to school/play.
Guidance is important, since most will not be seen in follow-up and it's important to avoid prolonged rest/school removal.

Several RCTs have really changed how we look at activity after a #concussion diagnosis.
⭐️Early exercise protocols demonstrate improved recovery.⭐️

So what does that mean for physical activity?
⭐️Evidence suggests early symptom limited exercise in the 1st week following injury. ⭐️
Avoid contact sports.

📚Regarding School📚
Children may require accommodations for school but SHOULD be back within 2-3 days (even for listening–only days) if they can tolerate it
–CAN return to school before first f/u visit
–Use VVE to predict problematic school activities!
