Saturday November 08, 2014 from 08:30 AM to 04:30 PM

Oakville, CA

Thank you for your interest in the Acute Management of Sport Concussion Oakville. However at this time, registration for this event has closed.

Event Details

Course objectives emphasize the continuum of care from pre-injury baseline testing using the comprehensive R2P Screen™ through acute on-field assessment, and symptom management, to sport-specific return to play protocols through the use of interactive learning and case studies. Additionally, participants will gain an understanding of the effect of cognitive exertion following a concussion, and its potential effects on learning problems and academic performance at school and in the workplace.  Return-to-Learn strategies will be discussed and applied to various case studies.  Pacing strategies using the principle of sub-threshold activity will be explored and applied.

Jacquie has over 20 years of experience working with individuals from a recreational level to Olympic athletes.  During more than fifteen years of clinical and on-field experience at the University of Toronto with the concussion clinic and research staff, Jacquie treated a high volume of complex concussion patients, with a focus on return to play using a continuum of care that included preseason questionnaires, acute on-field assessment of injured athletes, management of acute and chronic symptoms, and return to play exercise progressions. As well, she completed her vestibular competency training at Emory University.  She has been a clinical instructor at the University of Toronto, Department of Physical Therapy, and past chair of the Sport Physiotherapy Canada (SPC), Ontario. Her doctoral research focused on the development of the Concussion Recovery Questionnaire (CORE-Q), a functional status outcome measure for individuals with persistent post-concussion symptoms.  Her work seeks to measure the impact of concussion in order to inform clinical management based on patient priorities.  She is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario investigatinng the impact of concussion on children.
