Research
The Role of Rehabilitation in Concussion Management: A Randomized Controlled Trial (international study funded by the NFL). 2016–2020 site principal investigator. Approximately 420 professional and amateur athletes participated in rehabilitation during recovery after sports-related concussions. Participants were cluster-randomized by study site to a specific study arm. Participants completed post-injury assessments, and the intervention of their randomized group aimed at understanding the effects of a multidimensional rehabilitation protocol versus enhanced graded exertion on clinical recovery, return to play and patient outcomes after sport-related concussion.
