Causes

Causes for persistent post-concussive syndrome may include:

E
Traumatic brain injury (concussion)
E
Repeat head injuries
E
Prolonged recovery from initial injury
E
Pre-existing conditions (migraines, mental health disorders)
E
Age (children and the elderly may be more susceptible)
E
Gender (some studies suggest women may be at higher risk)
E
Severity of the initial concussion
E
Lack of proper initial management
E
Genetic factors
E
Psychological factors (anxiety, depression).

Diagnosis

Diagnosis for persistent post-concussive syndrome rehabilitation may involve:

E
Clinical Assessment: Comprehensive evaluation of symptoms and medical history.
E
Neurological Examination: Assessing cognitive and physical functions.
E
Imaging Tests: CT scans or MRIs to rule out structural brain damage.
E
Neuropsychological Testing: Evaluating cognitive abilities and identifying deficits.
E
Vision and Balance Assessments: Checking for visual and issues with the balance system.
E
Psychological Evaluation: Assessing emotional well-being and mental health.
E
Post-Concussion Symptom Scale: A standardized questionnaire to quantify and track symptoms.
E
Electroencephalogram (EEG): Monitoring brain activity to detect abnormalities.
E
Functional MRI (fMRI): Examining brain function during specific tasks.

Treatments

For Persistent Post-Concussive Syndrome (PPCS) rehabilitation, a customized approach is essential. Our program typically includes exercises for postural correction, muscle strengthening to support recovery and flexibility improvement.

Our Stroke & Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery Program offers a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation. Central to our approach is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), a state-of-the-art treatment delivering pressurized oxygen to promote cellular repair and reduce inflammation in the brain. In conjunction with HBOT, our program includes targeted physical therapy exercises for postural correction, muscle strengthening, and flexibility improvement. Speed therapy aims to improve how the brain processes information, while cognitive therapy addresses specific deficits resulting from the injury. Gait and coordination training aim to refine motor skills essential for daily activities. Additionally, electrotherapy modalities such as IFT, Ultrasound, and TENS contribute to physiotherapy management. Pain management strategies are seamlessly integrated to ensure comfort throughout the rehabilitation process.
