Post Concussion Syndrome

On today's episode, we delve into the pressing issue of concussions and their often-overlooked aftermath. Anna E. Boone, PhD, OTR/L, MSOT, CBIS, and Whitney Henderson, MOT, OTR/L, OTD, share their expertise and discuss the staggering number of individuals who sustain concussions each year in the U.S., many of whom remain undiagnosed or lack access to follow-up care and rehabilitation services. While much attention has been focused on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), we shine a light on those experiencing post-concussion syndrome (PCS) with mild persistent symptoms that hinder their daily lives. This episode emphasizes occupational therapy practitioners' critical role in evaluating and intervening in these cases, particularly regarding high-level instrumental activities of daily living, work, school, and social participation.
