In this group, the treating attending physician will be free to make rest recommendations as they see fit. An internal survey of physician practice found that the vast majority of physicians instruct patients rest for 1-2 days, then to return to school and physical activity after the patient's symptoms have resolved. The amount of rest will vary from patients to patient based on variation in symptom resolution and patient compliance. This advice is consistent with best practices outlined by the CDC.
Mandated Rest.
In addition to CDC based discharge instructions, the intervention group will receive instructions with strict activity restriction explicitly stating "No return to school" and "No Physical Activity" for the next five days. Patients and parents in the intervention group will be provided school and work excuses for the five days post-injury.
