360 Neuro Health, in partnership with Nationwide Children’s Hospital, held The Concussion Health Summit in Columbus, Ohio, at the Hyatt Regency on Friday, July 28 and Saturday, July 29, 2017.
This two day long program encouraged education and discussion – bringing together an influential array of experts, practitioners, and innovators from a range of specialties who discussed the latest knowledge and technology regarding concussion management. By emphasizing the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach, the Summit aimed to make the connection between prevention, baseline testing, time of injury, post-injury exam and the recovery process. The Program Planning Committee assembled a faculty of renowned clinical experts who provided opportunities for approved continuing education sessions as well as special programming for concussion survivors and caregivers. The Concussion Health Summit also provided opportunities to network through social events and round table discussions. The Summit is approved for 14 EBP Category hours/CEUs for Athletic Trainers and 14 CCUs for Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists! Thank you to all who participated in The 2017 Concussion Health Summit! |

SNAPSHOT OF SUMMIT PROGRAM
Friday, July 28, 2017
7:00 AM - 8:00 AM
Registration & Networking
8:00 AM - 8:10 AM
Welcome Remarks & Summit Format
8:15 AM - 8:45 AM
Case Study 1: Treatment of Concussion Starting Day 2
Randy Cohen, ATC, DPT
Concussions need to be treated actively. Randy's presentation will focus on the importance of beginning treatment day 2 after concussion and share treatment ideas. He will also discuss how such activities can go beyond an injury rehab program
and enhance athletic performance.
8:45 AM - 9:15 AM
Case Study 2: A Concussion Case Study ~ Older Adult
Bridgett Wallace, PT, DPT
Everyone is at risk for a brain injury, especially older adults. Falls were the leading cause of brain injury, accounting for >40% of all brain injuries in the United States. Bridgett will review key findings from the examination, interpret the findings, and provide patient specific treatment goals and appropriate intervention.
9:15 AM - 9:45 AM
Case Study 3: Military Case Study
Navy Cmdr. Paul Sargent, MD
Dr. Sargent will present a military case study that includes the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in concussion recovery, including discussion on his first-of-its-kind, DoD, residential treatment program that resulted in decrease anxiety levels, insomnia and depressive symptoms even after previous treatments had failed.
9:45 AM - 10:00 AM
Rob Hofschulte, PT - Case Study Winner!
Case Study Summary: Patient history of temporal-mandibular dysfunction (TMD) identified as a contributing factor to headaches in a patient post-concussion. Interventions for TMD (including dry needling) were combined with exertional, vestibular and visual exercises to allow for a quicker and complete recovery.
10:00 AM - 10:15 AM
John Ralston - Case Study Winner!
Case Study Summary: Wearable head impact dosimeters appear to be a powerful objective tool to support remove-from-play decisions and to limit cumulative head impact exposure trauma to levels below neural damage thresholds.

Baseline Testing as a Comprehensive Injury Program
Brian Roberts MS, ATC, ITAT
Baseline testing is an integral component to any comprehensive concussion management program providing best practices. Baseline testing is important: to have comparative data pre- and post-injury; to identify impairments before the season starts, and to create a comprehensive injury prevention program. Brian will discuss how we integrate into practice by identifying pre-existing conditions: symptoms, cognitive testing, balance testing and vision/visual motor testing as well as athletic enhancement.
2:00 PM - 2:10 PM
Q&A Session
TRACK 1
2:15 PM - 5:15 PM

2:15 PM - 5:15 PM
Overcoming Life with a Traumatic Brain Injury
Amy Zellmer

Amy Zellmer suffered a TBI on a cold morning in February when she slipped on a patch of ice in the driveway. Join Amy as she shares her story of recovery, and enlightens you with ways to help support a loved one dealing with this invisible injury. She will give you insight into a life that even doctors don't fully understand.
