A concussion occurs when a person receives an impact to the head. The most common persistent symptoms that generate from a concussion are headaches, depression, lack of balance and dizziness. One recommendation to alleviate persistent symptoms of concussion is rest. Research findings indicate that the benefit of rest is inconclusive to help individuals suffering from a concussion return to activities of daily living. One treatment approach in reducing concussion symptoms is physical exercise therapy. Research findings, however, are limited to treatments being administered before the symptoms are considered persistent. Based on this rationale, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of a physical therapy intervention in minimizing persistent symptoms of concussion using measures of cognition and brain function, mental and physical health, and driving performance. If successful, this physical therapy intervention may help treat persistent concussion symptoms, improving the quality of life and ability for individuals to function normally in their daily lives, and resulting in savings to the healthcare system
