FROM MY PT SCHOOL NOTES · NEUROLOGY · UNIT 4
Traumatic Brain Injury & Concussion
Follow the story from mechanism and awareness to functional rehabilitation, then apply contemporary concussion safety and return-to-activity principles. These lessons are based on my PT-school notes, with brief research-update notes where recommendations have evolved.
Three connected chapters
How to use the material
Read each chapter and complete its clinical reasoning prompt. The website teaches the important concepts and safe decisions. The companion notes add the deeper mechanism comparisons, functioning frameworks, worked cases, practical documentation exercises and a current-reference trail for students who want more detail.
