Document Summary
May be residual imprint not noticeable without testing. Impact: deeper look into how the brain functions to see if pt is improving or not. Stroop test: use after symptoms have gone away (3+ days, series of tests, need before concussion to compare. Not much change is shown so no baseline: brain changes due to many factors (caffeine, tired) Shift in the body"s ability to balance para and sympathetic systems (heightened or not) Hrv and ans balance: large range of hrv (high variable response) = healthy, reduced hrc = not healthy. Post concussion and with exertion = hrv is reduced. Conder and conder (2014: sympathetic is on all the time, resting hr is high, peak hr they can reach without symptoms is low compared to normal, net variability is much lower than non-concussed state. Physical and cognitive rest: full day after incident. Aerobic only: < 70% of max hr, low intensity, if symptoms don"t reproduce step 3.
