Our sub-study, exercise tolerance🚴♀️ This can be tested in athletes & non-athletes w/ a concussion. By riding a stationary bike, we can track heart rate & blood pressure and see how much activity can be tolerated before symptoms worsen. This helps guide a safe return to activity🏆

Ontario! Check out the updated Rowan's Law Packages. We are proud that our always up-to-date #LivingGuideline for Pediatric Concussion helped inform this important work. Let's keep working together to ensure everyone has access to up-to-date and evidence-based resources.
@parachutecanada led the creation of these important resources, comissioned by Ontario, and this year has been revising them to align with the 2nd edition of the Canadian Guideline on Concussion in Sport. #RowansLawDay #ConcussionEd
