The field of sport-related concussion has grown exponentially over the past decade, with more concussion-specific clinics being identified in major hospital systems as well as independent practitioner's offices. To date, there is no standardized in-office protocol for managing ongoing symptoms. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Sports Concussion Program, established in 2000, is one of the largest programs in the USA, pioneering the way in clinical management, research, and education of sport-related concussion. This report will outline the essential components of a successful concussion clinic, using the UPMC Sports Concussion Program as a case example of best practice. We will share several case studies illustrating the individualized and complex nature of this injury, as well as review important rehabilitation components.
在过去十年中，与运动相关的脑震荡领域呈指数级增长，在各大医院系统以及独立执业医生办公室中，出现了更多专门针对脑震荡的诊所。迄今为止，尚无用于管理持续症状的标准化门诊方案。匹兹堡大学医学中心（UPMC）运动脑震荡项目成立于2000年，是美国最大的项目之一，在运动相关脑震荡的临床管理、研究和教育方面开创了先河。本报告将以UPMC运动脑震荡项目作为最佳实践案例，概述成功的脑震荡诊所的基本组成部分。我们将分享几个案例研究，说明这种损伤的个体化和复杂性，同时回顾重要的康复组成部分。
