NURS FPX4030 Assessment 3 The Relevance of the Findings

My NURS FPX4030 Assessment 3 PICO(T) inquiry aimed to determine if providing individuals with moderate concussions with physical and psychological relaxation. Along with progressive exercise, is more beneficial than pharmaceuticals, the articles mentioned above corroborate my PICO(T) query. In concussion rehabilitation, physical activity is a relatively recent phenomenon that tries to hasten patients’ healing process and help them recover fully.

One of the main advantages is this therapy’s ability to precisely target the brain areas causing concussion-related deficits in cognitive, emotional, and plasticity processes (“Rest and Therapeutic Interventions Following Sport-Related Concussion: An Evidence-To-Practice Review,” 2021). Aerobic exercise therapy has been demonstrated to speed up healing and restore function. In the initial days of concussion, it is strongly advised to get plenty of physical and emotional rest. Occupational therapists advise patients to adhere to the recommendations of exercise and physical activities after a concussion, by assessing the individual’s ability and endurance to move. Young individuals with concussions must strictly follow their everyday workout routine. It has been noticed that they adhere to it on a specified timeline with their companions’ encouragement (Silverberg et al., 2022).

Conclusion

There is a demand for non-pharmacological therapeutic options to reduce discomfort in people with minor injuries. The PICO(T) paradigm was utilized to assess the effectiveness of the pharmacological and therapeutic methods. After duly assessing the information resources, findings, and applicability, it was concluded that the latter was preferable. Additionally, there are several subcategories within this broad category of aerobic workouts and based on their unique circumstances. Various individuals may respond better to these activities or need personalized regimens. As a result, choosing a suitable fitness routine prescribed by the physicians is essential for completing the healing process.
