Description

The aim of this thesis was to examine the literature on exercise rehabilitation for post-concussion symptoms and make recommendations for such exercise programs to be tested and implemented for the wider population. This research program identified exercise parameters that have shown promise in post-concussion rehabilitation studies carried out mostly on athletes, investigated existing knowledge gaps and misinformed attitudes about post-concussion rehabilitation in the community, and explored desirable features and barriers to exercising. The findings and recommendations from this research are expected to shape future post-concussion rehabilitation studies among diverse populations.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
