While recovery of balance deficits was observed in 1 variable over 12 weeks, less than half of the participants included in all assessments demonstrated improvement in balance outcomes. Future research and clinical practice should focus on the unique characteristics of community-dwelling adults with concussion to optimize recovery in this cohort.
