With the increasing attention given to concussions in the media, referrals for management and treatment of concussions have increased. Understanding how to actively manage concussions and post-concussive syndrome including return to cognitive activity, rehabilitation and return to physical activity, addressing the mental health aspects of concussion, and how to answer difficult questions such as "what is my risk for chronic traumatic encephalopathy?" are essential to proper management of concussion. Clinicians should be familiar with the pathophysiology of concussions and the key elements of an initial concussion evaluation. The role of computerized neuropsychological testing along with its utility and limitations are reviewed. A review of the current literature as well as research in the field of concussion is presented.
