Physical Therapy Intervention for Extended Physical Symptoms After a Sports-related Concussion

The purpose of this study is to investigate if skilled physical therapy treatment for dizziness after sports-related concussion, delivered after greater than 30 days post-concussion is effective to remediate physical symptoms. This will be the first study that explores differential PT treatment for dizziness in concussed athletes who have physical symptoms 30+ days after concussion. The findings of this important research have great potential to influence clinical practice and place increased emphasis on and acceptance of manual skills and neuromotor training in the treatment of concussed patients with dizziness.
