Dr. David Carr is an athletic training professor in the department of public health and sports medicine. He researches concussion rehabilitation, specifically in student–athletes.
“Recovery takes a multimodal assessment, meaning you have to use multiple methods to determine where their problems are, where they lie,” Carr said. “You need to use a team approach of specialists. No one person can do it all.”
Carr discusses more about concussions in March’s “Health Queries” episode.
