Research Review: Pressure to Return from Concussion

Concussions have been brought into the spotlight again with some high profile injuries. In a podcast on ATChat we talked with Dr. Julie Stamm, a concussion expert, and she mentioned the pressure felt by providers to return patients faster than they were ready. We highlight a study she worked on showing how common that pressure is and what it means for the potential risks to the health and safety of patients and athletes. See what they found in this Research Review.
