Concussion Clinical Practice Guideline (published)
The purpose of the concussion CPG is to articulate the potential indications, benefits, and best practices for physical therapy for those individuals who sustain a concussion and have persistent symptoms (greater than two weeks). This CPG was developed in partnership with APTA Orthopaedics, Sports and Pediatric sections.
The Clinical Practice Guideline was published in the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy in April 2020.
