Expert Interview
Concussion and traumatic brain injury (TBI) present with a wide variety of symptoms and dysfunction and occur across a broad spectrum of patients, including children, athletes, older adults, and members of the military. During this session we will discuss the involvement of the vestibular system in concussion/TBI recovery, the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to care, and what rehab may look like for different types of patients, from the elderly to military personnel. We'll also review relevant new research being published or performed in this field.
