About the Study Team
This study came about because we had noticed that some people have a lot of difficulty recovering from their concussion and it has not been very clear why this is.
​
The study team have been working together on this for many years. We are a team of NZ clinicians and researchers based in Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington. We are also working with researchers from Canada on this and other concussion studies.
