Concussion recovery tool

Your Recovery
Profile

This tool maps how your brain is functioning now compared to before your injury, and identifies the personality traits that shape how recovery goes for you specifically. The result is a personalised profile you can share with your clinician, coach, or support team.

Part 2a — Personality traits

How you're wired

These are stable personality traits that don't change with your injury, but significantly shape how recovery goes. Rate how true each statement is for you generally.

These traits were true before your injury and remain true now. A high score here, combined with a large gap in Part 1, means that trait is placing extra load on your recovery — and is likely to shape what support will actually help.

Part 2b — Life context

Your life context

These questions are about your current life situation. They help place your recovery in context and shape what your report recommends.

Part 3 — Background context

A bit about your situation

These optional questions help add context to your profile. Skip anything that doesn't apply.

Concussion Recovery Profile — Brain Recovery Map

Recovery Profile

Important: This is a self-report recovery profile and is not a medical diagnosis. It is designed to support conversations with your concussion clinician, OT, physiotherapist, GP, or neuropsychologist, to help tailor your recovery plan.

How your brain function has changed

Key areas to focus on

These areas showed the largest gaps and are most likely shaping your recovery experience right now. Share these with your clinician.

Worth being aware of

These areas show a moderate gap. Noticeable but less severe. Worth monitoring and mentioning to your clinician.

Lower load areas

These areas show little or no change since your injury. They are likely acting as protective factors in your recovery.

Your personality wiring

These traits were true before your injury and remain true now. They shape how the functional changes above affect you day to day.

We hope this report gives you some understanding, language, and actions to assist your recovery.

Recovery from a brain injury isn't linear, and it isn't fair. But understanding how you're wired, and what's actually going on beneath the surface, changes the conversation. With yourself, with the people close to you, and with the clinicians who can help.

Improvement might not be easy and there might be setbacks, but it is possible.

You've got this. 🌿
