Designed by, and for young athletes, CrashCourse is a multi-purpose educational curriculum that engages athletes, challenges their assumptions and the stigma surrounding concussion, and meets California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) guidelines for providing pre-season concussion education and training for athletes and coaches.
BASELINE TESTING
The best way to determine how your brain is functioning is to gather information before an incident occurs. If we have this information, we can determine when you have completely recovered from a concussion and, this is extremely valuable in your rehabilitation and return to play. Prior to arriving to your baseline testing, please complete the following forms:
PRE-DIAGNOSIS SCREENING
If you are unlucky enough to suffer a concussion, it is important we see you for follow up testing as soon as possible, and ideally within 48 hours of the injury. In doing so, we can accurately compare your pre-season baseline information to that of your post-concussion results. This information is critical towards guiding the appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan, even before you have seen your physician. If you suffer a concussion, the first thing to do is contact us to be scheduled immediately for injury screening prior to seeing your physician. Once this is completed, we will share the results and our recommendations for treatment directly with your physician. Please note, if our recommendations also include modifications for work, school or sport, these will also be communicated as part of the recovery plan.
POST DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT & REHABILITATION
After your injury has been diagnosed by your physician, you may require treatment and rehabilitation in order to properly recover. This may include the following interventions provided by our trained Physical Therapists:
Cardiovascular Exertional Training
Cognitive Fatigue Monitoring and Accommodations
Vision Therapy and Training
Vestibular System Habituation and Training
Multi-Sensory Integration
