Addressing Participation in Adults With Postconcussive Symptoms Using Cognitive Strategy Training: A Feasibility Trial.

Importance: Some people experience persistent symptoms after a concussion that greatly affect occupational performance.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effect of metacognitive strategy training in a sample of adults with postconcussive symptoms.

Design: Single-group, prospective design.

Surveying the Landscape of Persistent Concussive Symptoms in Adults Through an Occupational Lens.

Importance: Little is known about how and to what extent persistent concussive symptoms affect occupational performance in adults.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of persistent postconcussive symptoms on occupational performance.

Design: A cross-sectional study design was used in which the occupational performance needs of adults with persistent concussion symptoms were identified by a trained occupational therapist via semistructured interview.

Screening Tools: They're So Quick! What's the Issue?

Screening tools are needed in occupational therapy practice to determine which clients require formal evaluation. Because screening tools also tell us who does not require formal evaluation, they are key to improved clinical efficiency. Screening tools are brief, easy to administer, and often freely available.
