The majority of patients with mild traumatic brain injuries recover within seven to 10 days. If concussion signs and symptoms continue beyond seven days, the diagnosis changes from acute concussion to post-concussion syndrome.

Unfortunately, some patients continue to suffer from their concussion for years with little to no change in their condition.

Brain games are tools that stimulate cognitive function and can be used to challenge the brain's five main areas of language, memory, attention, visual / spatial awareness and reasoning / problem-solving functions. Several computer programs available online utilize brain games to stimulate brain function. Having a program evaluate and track user progress can help both the clinician and the patient discover weak areas and provide training specific to those deficits.
