Brock improving concussion protocols – Local Skim St. Catharines

Brock University is enhancing its concussion protocols to better assist students in returning to the classroom after sustaining mild traumatic brain injuries.
Brock Sports Medicine (BSM) has received the green light to add a game-changing concussion intervention thanks to the University’s new Academic Initiatives Fund (AIF).
BSM will work with the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences (FAHS) and Student Health Services (SHS) to implement a refined approach to managing concussions among students.
BSM’s initiative will create a multi-staged concussion clearance protocol, in collaboration with FAHS and SHS, supported by a guided aerobic exercise program to gradually return patients to pre-concussion functionality.
