Samenvatting

In the past two decades, awareness about traumatic brain injury has been increasing in the public health. Informative and educational programs such as the Concussion Management program from the University of Kansas Health System have been reaching out to education, health and sports facilities. Practical guidelines about how to identify, treat and manage traumatic brain injury has been created since and helped increase awareness in the general as well as the athletic population. Hence, the problem of lack of knowledge has been gaining in importance in the past decades. Nonetheless, there is little research and guidelines about how physiotherapists can help preventing traumatic brain injury.
