Concussion CPG

Catherine Quatman-Yates, PT, DPT, PhD

Dr. Quatman-Yates published the first Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) for the physical therapy management of concussion, which have been endorsed by the American Physical Therapy Association and its affiliated academies. This is the first CPG to provide detailed guidance on care-management strategies for physical therapists that are treating patients who have experienced a potential concussive event.

The new recommendations provide a comprehensive approach to evaluation, intervention, and episode-of-care guidance for physical therapy management practices.
