Patient Outcome Report

July 2022–June 2023

The Concussion Program at Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital provides a full continuum of care for individuals who have suffered a concussion from a variety of mechanisms including sports, accidents and falls. If a concussion is left untreated, recovery can be delayed and a patient is more vulnerable to long term effects following a second concussion. Patients who have a concussion come to us with routine to complex injuries, but leave with reduced symptoms and improved ability to function in their daily activities due in large part to the individualized, creative approach we bring to concussion care. Patients can expect to participate in an assortment of innovative exercises, training in preparation for return to sports, classroom and workplace, simulation to prepare for return to school or work, and specialized technology, such as ImPACT®️ Testing, the SMART Balance Master®️ and Dynavision D2.
