Steering Through Concussion Health Care: Driving Recommendations and Management in Irish and Canadian Athletic Therapists
We observed that Irish and Canadian ATs overall have similar practices and opinions on postconcussion driving management. The lack of uniform recommendations and written instructions regarding safe return-to-driving management practices after concussion resulted in reliance on verbal advice. Our findings emphasize the need for clear and consistent guidelines related to driving after concussion.
