1Anne W. Hunt, PhD, OT Reg. (Ont.), is Clinical Study Investigator and Manager, Student Training and Intervention Research, Concussion Centre, Bloorview Research Institute, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and Assistant Professor, Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences Institute, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; ahunt@hollandbloorview.ca.
Objective:
We determined the feasibility and effects of the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) ApproachTM on activity performance and satisfaction, symptoms, and mood of adolescents with persistent postconcussion symptoms.
Method:
In a prospective case series, 3 participants with persistent symptoms 3 mo after concussion and difficulties resuming activities were taught to use a metacognitive strategy (Goal-Plan-Do-Check) to work toward occupation-based goals in a 7-wk intervention (10 sessions, 30-60 min each). Participants were assessed pre- and postintervention and at 3-mo follow-up. Feasibility was determined by positive changes on study measures, ease of administration, and acceptability to participants.
Results:
Clinically significant, positive changes were found in participants' activity performance and satisfaction. All participants had decreases in symptoms and improved mood scores at posttest.
Conclusion:
The CO-OP Approach to rehabilitation for youth postconcussion is feasible and may make a positive contribution to recovery.

Cascaded Op Amps
In a cascaded system, each op-amp is referred to as a stage. The output of one stage drives the input of the subsequent stage. As the input signal passes through...
Second-order Op Amp Circuits
The analysis of such circuits follows a systematic approach, similar to the second-order RLC circuits. In practical scenarios, bulky inductors are rarely employed due to their size and weight. This means...
Characteristics of Practical Op Amps
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...

Frequency Response of Op Amp Circuits
Frequency Response and Gain:
The gain of the op-amp, A(ω), is not a constant but a function of the input signal frequency. An op-amp can maintain a constant gain at low frequencies, known...
