The Future of Concussion.

Over the past 2 decades, concussion care is increasingly in demand as research and media attention shed light on the importance of proper diagnosis and medical management to prevent complex, potentially disabling sequelae. The purpose of this review is to discuss the future of clinical concussion care across selected topics under the broad themes of diagnosis/assessment, intervention/treatment, and patient characteristics/presentations with the intent to direct clinicians' attention to important anticipated developments in the field. The current status of biomarkers, clinical settings, models of clinical concussion, return-to-activity, clinical subpopulations, treatment approaches, patient perceptions of injury, and social media are reviewed along with predictions for future developments.
