hx of headache

25
what are the **main symptoms** that **women** are gonna report w a concussion
drowsiness and sensitivity to light women take longer to recover
26
what are the 12 R’s of SRC
1. RECOGNIZE 2. REDUCE 3. REMOVE 4. REFER 5. RE-EVALUATE 6. REST 7. REHABILITATE 8. RECOVER 9. RETURN-TO-LEARN (RTL)/RETURN-TO-SPORT (RTS) 10. RECONSIDER 11. RETIRE 12. REFINE
27
what is REDUCE for SRC
prevention of concussion
28
what is REMOVE for SRC
sideline evaluation
29
what are the 8 sings that warrant removal from play
o Actual or suspected LOC o Seizure o Tonic posturing o Ataxia o Poor balance o Confusion o Behavioral changes o Amnesia
30
what are the 3 r’s as first responders on a sports field
recognize remove refer
31
what is the assessment tool for concussion
concussion recognition tool 6 (across spectrum) sports concussion assessment tool (SCAT) > 13 years old
32
* For use by non-medical stakeholders (parents, players, officials, coaches, sports administrators) * Used to help identify concussion in children, adolescents and adults * **Not designed to diagnose concussion** * Provides guidance to for when a player should be removed from play * **Identify red flags** * Provides basic guidance regarding management which assessment tool dos this
CRT
33
is teh SCAT 6 a diagnostic on its own ?
no
34
t/f: Scoring on the SCAT6 should not be used as a stand-alone method to diagnose concussion, measure recovery or make decisions about an athlete's readiness to return-to-sport after concussion
t
35
what are the 5 steps from the **immediate assessment** for SCAT 6
o STEP 1: Observable signs o STEP 2: GCS o STEP 3: Cervical spine assessment o STEP 4: Coordination and ocular/motor screen o STEP 5: Memory assessment
36
what are the 6 steps for the **off field assessment** for SCAT 6
o STEP 1: Athlete background o STEP 2: Symptom evaluation o STEP 3: Cognitive screening o STEP 4: Coordination and balance assessment o STEP 5: Memory assessment o STEP 6: Decision
37
what are the 8 observable signs of a concussion for SCAt 6
1. lying motions less >5 seconds 2. no protective action 3. motor incoordainton 4. disorientation 5. blank look 6. facial injury after head trauma 7. impact seizures 8. high risk MOI
38
what are red flags from the immediate assessment for SCAT
Neck pain or tenderness Double vision Weakness or tingling/burning in more than one arm or in the legs Severe or increasing headaches Seizure or convulsion LOC Deteriorating consciousness Vomiting Increased restlessness, agitation or aggressiveness GCS <15 Visible deformity of the skull
39
for the **cervical spine assessment** for the SCAT (step 3) what is the 4 yes or no questions
1. Neck pain at rest 2. Tenderness on palpation 3. If NO neck pain and NO tenderness, does the athlete have full ACTIVE pain free ROM 4. Are limb strength and sensation normal?
40
for the SCAT , step 4: **coordination** adn **ocular motor screen **how do u test this
* **COORDINATION**: Is finger-nose normal for both hands with eyes **OCULAR/MOTOR**: Without moving their head or neck, can the patient look side-to-side and up-and-down without double vision open and eyes closed
41
most concussion resolve within how many days in **adults**
10-14
42
what is the Return to sport strategy
ymptom limited activity → aerobic exercise → individual sport-specific exercise→ non-contact training → full contact practice → RTS
43
is strict rest until the complete resolution of concussion good ?
nooooo
44
what is persistent post concussion symptoms
Symptoms that persist > 10 – 14 days in adults and > 4 weeks in children
45
what are pre existing risk factors from PPCS
• Female gender • Adolescent • Hx of personal or family anxiety/depression • PMHx or family Hx of migraine • DD or learning disorders • Pre-existing visual dysfunction
46
what is the main risk factors fr post injury for PPCS
continuing to play post concussion
47
wh What causes persistent symptoms following concussion?
1. Cervical spine 2. Vestibular system 3. Visual system 4. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) 5. Psychological factors (mood, anxiety etc.
48
what is the main problem for the **peripheral vestibular** post concussion
BBPV
49
concussionc can causes a direct impact on what CN and an indirect impact on what CN
* Direct impact on vision function: CN II, III, IV, VI * Indirect impact on vision function: CN V and VII (trigmenial an facial)
50
what 3 things go into the **sensory input** for balance and postural control
vestibular visual proprioceptive
51
what 3 things go into the **input integration** for balance and postural control
cerebellum cerebral cortex brain stem
52
what 3 things go into the **motor output** for balance and postural control for PPCS
vestibular ocular reflex motor impulses for eye motor impulses for body posture
53
what are symptoms of the autonomic nervous system for PPCS
• ↑ HR, ↓HRV, ↓postural BP control • Temperature flushes/heat tolerance • Difficulty getting to sleep • Exacerbation of symptoms (e.g. light headedness, dizziness, headache) during cognitive &/or physical activity
54
for sub maximal aerobic exercises u want to progress by ___ bpm every __ days
5 3
55
what is the HR % from submax aerobic exercises 8
0-90%
56
what is the first thing u shoudl do for PPCS treatment
rule out cervical spine, visual and vestibular systems first. if there treat visual then CS then vest
57
