BiblioTech™ “REBOUND: Beating Concussions”

Summary

An interactive reading experience about concussions, sports, and brain health

Did you know that this year there will be an estimated 1.6 to 3.8 million concussions in the U.S. from sports and recreational activities? That will prompt a lot of questions, such as:

How do I know if I have a concussion? What happens if I fall asleep? Are all concussions the same? Can I play sports again? What is a concussion, anyway?!?

Travel along as BMX-rider Daniel Garcia uncovers the truth about concussions in order to help his twin sister get back on the basketball court. You decide where Daniel goes to learn about concussions. A beach full of surfers? A physics lab? A public park? A BMX tournament? It’s up to you!

Built-in Adaptive Reader™ technology adjusts the text to your reading level and provides for a seamless learning experience. Other features include a digital notebook, where readers can store the notes they will use to help Daniel complete his quest.

Advised by the world-renowned UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program, “Rebound: Beating Concussions” teaches the most up-to-date, cutting-edge science in concussion research and treatment, including an interactive simulation of the ImPACT® test—a powerful diagnostic tool used by sports health professionals.
