Recovery of cognitive and dynamic motor function following concussion

I believe this paper provides support for the notion that concussion identification and management is complex and requires a multifaceted approach. While a significant majority of the recent literature has been focused on neuropsychological testing, it is important to remember that concussions can result in a motor decrement, and that the recovery of neuropsychological and functional motor variables may not correlate. Thus, the prudent clinician should strive to assess and monitor multiple domains of function during the management of concussion.
