Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Suzanne, I had about four sessions with a new client when he had a bad concussion from slipping on the ice and hitting his head hard. He didn't come to sessions for a week as he felt too tired. When he came back, the most noticeable aspect is that High Beta, which he had previously trained down was gradually was still down but creeping up during training segments, a pattern that was not there before. He also reported being more irritable at work. It seems the brain was reacting to a sustained effort by producing high beta. So we are now doing shorter training segments and he is taking frequent " brain rest " pauses at work. I would think, in general, that you can start working with a client when they are able to do the assessment and come for training, keeping in mind that a brain freshly injured is a brain that tires easily.
