Purpose of Project: The ultimate goal of this short-term pilot project is for
overweight or obese osteoarthritis patients to increase their knowledge on the benefits of

The aim of this study was to determine those factors that influence the reporting of concussion symptoms. Specific variables that were examined include the amount of concussion education provided (determined by requisite amount …
