After a concussion, short and structured rest is recommended, not prolonged inactivity. The first 24–48 hours should be spent on relative rest with reduced physical and cognitive strain.
After this, gradual and symptom-controlled activity is recommended, both physically and mentally, without obvious or persistent worsening of symptoms. Both overexertion and too much inactivity can delay recovery and worsen the condition.
Prolonged inactivity refers to several days to weeks of sitting still or lying in bed, little movement, avoidance of normal activities, and withdrawal from mental stimulation.
If symptoms last more than 2–3 weeks, targeted follow-up and rehabilitation should be considered.
