Directional preference describes the clinical phenomenon where a specific direction of repeated movement and / or sustained position results in a clinically relevant improvement in symptoms. This improvement is usually accompanied by an improvement in function or mechanics or both. Its presence and relevance is determined over 2-3 visits. This study aims to identify the proportion of participants with concussion who present with a directional preference during the course of physical therapy. A secondary aim of this study is to investigate whether directional preference is associated with the eventual patient related outcomes following care.
