A handy way to think of concussion management is the four Rs: recognition, response, rehabilitation, and return. Athletes, coaches, parents, therapists, and physicians need a thorough understanding of concussion signs and symptoms. An athlete suspected of having sustained a concussion should be removed from the game or practice and assessed by a member of the sideline medical team. All athletes who sustain a concussion should be evaluated by a medical doctor. Rehabilitation has similarities to but also differs from the traditional orthopedic model in that the first step is rest, both physical and cognitive. Once asymptomatic at rest, a step-wise return to activity is undertaken. This protocol has been adapted for various sports. It may...

Rehabilitation goals aim to optimize recovery efficiency and diminish chances of repeat injury. Rehabilitation programs take many aspects of recovery and wellness into consideration including physical, social, and psychologic components. Ultimately, this is important in the recovery process after concussion. In this article we introduce the largely unexplored concept of multidimensional concussion rehabilitation and discuss physical, psychologic, social, and sport-specific issues. As well, we propose future directions in this field.

Also, symptoms can be quite subtle and slow to appear. When the injury is suspected, the results of serial exams can be used to determine the need for laparotomy to establish the diagnosis. This report of an isolated jejunal rupture in a professional hockey player, in which the initial work-up was negative for any serious pathology, illustrates the need for continued vigilance in cases of blunt abdominal trauma.

Data Sources/Synthesis: A handy way to think of concussion management is the four Rs: recognition, response, rehabilitation, and return. Results: Athletes, coaches, parents, therapists, and physicians need a thorough understanding of concussion signs and symptoms. An athlete suspected of having sustained a concussion should be removed from the game or practice and assessed by a member of the sideline medical team. All athletes who sustain a concussion should be evaluated by a medical doctor. Rehabilitation has similarities to but also differs from the traditional orthopedic model in that the first step is rest, both physical and cognitive. Once asymptomatic at rest, a step-wise return to activity is undertaken. Conclusions: This protocol has been adapted for various sports. It may be used for children, although it is prudent to be more conservative and to progress more slowly than in an older age group.
