Concussion is “a complex pathophysiological process affecting the brain, induced by traumatic biomechanical forces.” Concussion results from acceleration and deceleration forces which may be caused either by a direct blow to the head, face, neck or elsewhere on the body with an 'impulsive' force transmitted to the head.

Systematic review: Effectiveness of return to activity and return to school protocols for children postconcussion: a systematic review
DeMatteo C, Bednar ED, Randall S, Falla K.
DeMatteo C, Bednar ED, Randall S, Falla K.
Objective: To determine the effects of following return to activity (RTA) and return to school (RTS) protocols on clinical outcomes for children with concussion. The 12 subquestions of this review focus on the effectiveness of protocols, guidelines and recommendations, and the evidence supporting content of the protocols including rest, exercise and school accommodations.

Systematic review: Sleep disturbances after pediatric traumatic brain injury: a systematic review of prevalence, risk factors, and association with recovery
Luther M, Poppert Cordts KM, Williams CN
Luther M, Poppert Cordts KM, Williams CN
Objectives: Sleep is vital for brain development and healing after injury, placing children with sleep-wake disturbances (SWD) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) at risk for worse outcomes. We conducted a systematic review to quantify SWD after pediatric TBI including prevalence, phenotypes, and risk factors. We also evaluated interventions for SWD and the association between SWD and other posttraumatic outcomes.

Haider MN, Leddy JJ, Pavlesen S, et al.
Objective: The Concussion in Sport Group guidelines recommend a multifaceted approach to help clinicians make return to sport decisions. The purpose of this study was to identify the most common multifaceted measures used to define clinical recovery from sport-related concussion in young athletes (high school and/or college level) and to summarise existing knowledge of criteria used to make return to sport decisions.
