What is a concussion assessment?



Concussion Assessment

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a blow to the head or a sudden jolt. Concussion assessments are used to evaluate the severity of the injury and guide treatment. Key components include:

  • Symptom Evaluation: Questions about headache, nausea, dizziness, confusion, memory problems, and sensitivity to light or noise.

  • Cognitive Tests: Assess memory, attention, and problem-solving abilities.

  • Balance and Coordination Tests: To determine if there are any issues with motor function.

  • Neuroimaging: In some cases, MRI or CT scans are used to rule out more severe brain injuries.

These assessments are crucial in both diagnosing the issue and creating a treatment plan to ensure proper recovery. If you are experiencing symptoms of a concussion or dizziness, book in with a physiotherapist who can offer a specialized assessment to assist in educating you on finding a solution to your issue.
