The diagnostic criteria for mild traumatic brain injury (mild TBI) published by the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM) in 1993 has guided clinical practice and research over the past 30 years. In 2023, the Mild TBI Task Force of the ACRM Brain Injury Special Interest Group released an update these diagnostic criteria. This informative session will describe the rationale for the update and the methodologies used to develop the criteria, present the updated consensus diagnostic criteria for mild TBI, and demonstrate application of the criteria through case presentations. The material is designed to be appropriate for all audience levels.
