Intrinsic (i.e. internal factors specific to the individual) and extrinsic (i.e. external factors related to the environment or sport) factors influence the risk of concussion. Identifying risk factors can inform prevention. An individualized patient-centred approach to prevention, assessment and management is advocated. In most cases, symptoms will resolve in the initial few days following concussion, after which time a gradual return to sport and school strategy is recommended. If symptoms persist for longer than 7-10 days, a multifaceted interdisciplinary assessment is recommended and can be used to guide treatment. This article applies the dynamic, recursive model of sport injury to sport-related concussion and summarizes the process of individualized assessment and management following concussion in athletes of all ages, with a focus on physical rehabilitation.
