Abstract:
A complex diagnosis such as concussion requires a multidisciplinary patient-centered approach to maximize health outcomes. There is growing evidence to support the role of the Physical Therapist as a key member of the team of healthcare professionals managing children and adolescents with a protracted recovery following concussion. Symptoms such as headache, dizziness, neck pain, gaze instability, balance dysfunction, and fatigue can be addressed through a multimodel approach. This article provides an overview of the targeted pathways of examination and treatment of individuals with a concussion through vestibular rehabilitation, cervicogenic rehabilitation, exertional training, and patient education.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
