ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The Hawaii Concussion Awareness & Management Program (HCAMP) has reported an average of 1,000 concussions annually to Hawaii's high school athletes over the last 6 years. HCAMP has also reported an average high school athlete takes more than 3 weeks to recover from a concussion. The featured faculty will provide research based evidence that could provide techniques to decrease this 3 week recovery period by implementing return to learn in the classroom and early return to activity. The Hawaii faculty will provide the audience with what is happening locally and how to evaluate and rehabilitate a concussed patient with vestibular symptoms. This conference will provide it's audience with the most up to date concussion management treatment and inspire them to get started using these techniques immediately.

This conference has broad appeal to physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists and other healthcare professionals.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

After completing this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • » Describe and implement a controlled subthreshold aerobic activity (Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test) on symptomatic concussed patients
  • » Describe how to apply the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill test as differential diagnose, decrease symptoms and address physiological treatment needs as opposed to the recommendation of complete physical and cognitive rest
  • » Describe and demonstrate a subthreshold aerobic activity utilizing a stationary ergometer which will be demonstrated in a lab format
  • » Describe the physiology of the vestibular systems and which assessments (BESS or VOMS) are affected by each system
  • » Demonstrate and describe how to perform the Vestibular Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) and describe what vestibular exercise can be performed to treat each component of the assessment
  • » Develop strategies to implement exertional therapy into a concussed patients recovery
  • » Discuss when a concussed patient should return to school and describe the team approach to best practice when determining appropriate classroom adjustments to reduce symptoms and emotional stress
