Current guidelines recommend physical and cognitive rest for 24-48 hours post-concussion with minimal guidance on screen time parameters. Recent evidence is emerging that supports avoidance of screen time and encouragement of aerobic activity as strategies to shorten and lessen post-concussion symptoms. Join us as we discuss 2 recent studies regarding screen-time and aerobic exercise that add critical information to best practice for reducing post-concussion symptoms.   Episode resource links: John J Leddy, Christina L Master, Rebekah Mannix, Douglas J Wiebe, Matthew F Grady, William P Meehan, Eileen P Storey, Brian T Vernau, Naomi J Brown, Danielle Hunt, Fairuz Mohammed, Andrea Mallon, Kate Rownd, Kristy B Arbogast, Adam Cunningham, Mohammad N Haider, Andrew R Mayer, Barry S Willer.
