00:09.040 --> 00:11.151
in this lesson , you will learn about

00:11.151 --> 00:13.262
the differences between complete rest

00:13.262 --> 00:15.429
and relative rest and will be provided

00:15.429 --> 00:17.262
with examples of activities that

00:17.262 --> 00:19.373
promote relative rest . By the end of

00:19.373 --> 00:22.070
this video , you will be able to define

00:22.070 --> 00:23.737
relative rest following acute

00:23.737 --> 00:27.540
concussion . The 2021 revised pr

00:27.540 --> 00:30.020
a uses the term relative rest as

00:30.020 --> 00:32.550
opposed to complete or strict rest , to

00:32.560 --> 00:34.480
emphasize the importance of early

00:34.480 --> 00:36.647
introduction of physical and cognitive

00:36.647 --> 00:38.536
activities , which do not provoke

00:38.536 --> 00:40.650
symptoms following acute concussion .

00:41.840 --> 00:44.310
Previously complete rest , sometimes

00:44.310 --> 00:46.590
called cocooning , was prescribed for

00:46.590 --> 00:48.840
acute concussion . However , there is

00:48.840 --> 00:51.380
mounting evidence that prolonged strict

00:51.390 --> 00:53.240
physical and cognitive rest can

00:53.250 --> 00:55.580
actually prolong the recovery process ,

00:55.590 --> 00:57.910
whereas promoting early activity can

00:57.920 --> 01:01.720
expedite recovery during

01:01.720 --> 01:03.442
relative rest , the patient is

01:03.442 --> 01:05.530
encouraged to do light physical and

01:05.530 --> 01:07.363
cognitive activities that do not

01:07.363 --> 01:09.940
provoke symptoms . Additionally , the

01:09.940 --> 01:11.940
service members should get adequate

01:11.940 --> 01:13.940
sleep , eat healthy foods and drink

01:13.940 --> 01:17.150
plenty of water . Some examples of

01:17.150 --> 01:19.261
activities that promote relative rest

01:19.261 --> 01:21.860
include walking at an easy pace ,

01:22.240 --> 01:24.407
watching television or light reading .

01:25.040 --> 01:27.096
Service members should attempt to do

01:27.096 --> 01:29.151
light daily , physical and cognitive

01:29.151 --> 01:31.373
activities while paying close attention

01:31.373 --> 01:33.484
to their symptoms to ensure that they

01:33.484 --> 01:36.470
do not become worse . It is important

01:36.470 --> 01:38.803
to note that stage one of the P . R . A .

01:38.803 --> 01:40.914
Consists of full time relative rest .

01:40.914 --> 01:43.120
However , in stages two through five ,

01:43.130 --> 01:45.074
service members should continue to

01:45.074 --> 01:47.186
utilize these rest guidelines between

01:47.186 --> 01:49.360
more strenuous activities or until the

01:49.360 --> 01:51.510
exacerbation resolves if they exhibit

01:51.510 --> 01:54.950
new or worsening symptoms . In this

01:54.950 --> 01:57.130
video , we defined relative rest in

01:57.130 --> 01:59.430
relation to concussion . A detailed

01:59.430 --> 02:01.152
description of the P . R . A .

02:01.152 --> 02:03.319
progression criteria is coming up next
