Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a combined physiotherapy treatment (including vestibular rehabilitation and treatment for the cervical spine) in youth and young adults with ongoing symptoms of dizziness, neck pain and headaches following a sport-related concussion.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy: including vestibular rehabilitation and multimodal treatment for the cervical spine, once weekly with the study physiotherapist for 8 weeks or until time of medical clearance to return to sport. This group also received the control intervention.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Control postural education, general range of motion and strengthening in addition to the standard of care

Intervention Type OTHER

Control: postural education, general range of motion and strengthening in addition to the standard of care rest followed by graded exertion. Individuals were seen once weekly for eight weeks or until time of medical clearance to return to sport.
