Progress in Concussion/TBI Science and Clinical Care over the Last 40 Years

Knowledge and clinical practice have evolved over the 40 years since the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation’s topical issue (volume 1, issue 2) on “Minor Head Injury.” This webinar will review important insights from this 1986 issue and highlight how research since has refined our understanding of concussion/traumatic brain injury pathophysiology, recovery, and possible long-term effects. We will highlight shifts in terminology and outline how assessment and rehabilitation approaches have developed over time. Finally, we will highlight areas of ongoing uncertainty and innovations that could help resolve them.
