Rehabilitation of Concussion and Post-Concussion Syndrome

Rehabilitation of Concussion and Post-concussion Syndrome

A concussion is an injury that occurs to the brain when a force is transmitted to the head that causes the brain to shake inside of the skull. This can be from a direct hit to the head, face, or neck, or a whiplash type injury. Most concussions will gradually resolve in a week to ten days. When signs and symptoms persist for more than 3 weeks, usually a diagnosis of post-concussion syndrome (PCS) can be applied. Common symptoms include headache, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, insomnia, and concentration or memory difficulty

Vestibular Rehabilitation

What is Vestibular Rehabilitation?

Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is an exercise-based program for reducing the symptoms of disequilibrium and dizziness associated with vestibular pathology (disease or disorder). A common neuro-otological approach for managing such symptoms is to prescribe medication that suppresses vestibular function. However, in the long term, such suppressants can interfere with a person’s ability to make necessary adaptations. In addition, many of these medications cause drowsiness that may limit a person’s ability to be active.

VRT is an alternative treatment involving specific exercises that can eliminate or significantly reduce symptoms by promoting central nervous system compensation for inner-ear deficits. The program is designed to achieve these goals:

1. Decrease dizziness and visual symptoms.

2. Increase balance and walking functions.

3. Increase general activity levels.

The program may include exercises for:

Coordinating eye and head movements
Stimulating the symptoms of dizziness

in order to desensitize the vestibular system

Improving balance and walking ability
Improving fitness and endurance

Exercises vary depending on the type of inner-ear disorder and the associated symptoms. (Vestibular.org, 2016)
