Following last year’s sold-out Functional Mastery course, Min Trevor Kyi is back with TBI and Post-Concussion Syndrome: A Research-Based Roadmap to Assessment and Treatment.
This two-day course is designed for occupational therapists, physical therapists, kinesiologists, and other health care professionals seeking to improve their skills in the realm of traumatic brain injury and post-concussion syndrome. We’ll delve into current tests and protocols to more objectively evaluate the cognitive function of an individual. Then we’ll look at how to design a research-based roadmap to recovery. Students will leave with practical tools to immediately improve the lives of their patients, and to improve their own practices.
