Concussion clinic referral demographics and recommendations: a retrospective analysis.

Abstract

Considering the high number of injuries with mild TBI that occur every year, there was a relatively small number seen in the Wellington area concussion clinic. Only half of clinic attendees had had a mild TBI. Treatment recommendations were similar throughout patient diagnostic groups; occupational therapy input was probably offered because it was resourced by the clinic funder. Further research is required into return to work, emotional and cognitive outcomes.
