This course will introduce participants to diagnostic classification systems, prognostic indicators, examination and evaluation, outcome measures, treatment interventions, and pharmacologic interventions for patients who are experiencing disorders of consciousness after TBI. This course is relevant to clinicians treating the DOC patient population across the continuum of care – from acute care to outpatient rehabilitation and mildTBI/concussion to severe TBI. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.
