Description: Athletic trainers are essential to facilitate post-concussion return to learn (RTL) progressions for a variety of athletic populations. Performing arts students have similar cognitive and physical demands to varsity student-athletes, yet have been overlooked in contemporary concussion literature until recently. The Progressive Return to Performance Protocol serves as a framework to support cross-campus communication between medical and academic teams by providing specific recommendations to support students returning to dance, music, and theatre activities.

Objectives: At the end of this presentation, the learner will be able to: Explain similarities in physical and cognitive demands between performing artists and varsity student-athletes. Summarize strategies to improve cross-campus communication between medical and academic teams. Describe the six stages of the Progressive Return to Performance Protocol to meet the individualized needs of performing artists returning to their discipline(s) after concussion.
