Purpose: Describe clinical practice, inter-disciplinary clinical pathway and core principles of care within a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) rehabilitation team.
Methods: An observational study examined inter-disciplinary practice, nested within an observational trial investigating team-based mTBI rehabilitation. Data were collected to describe clinical service over 12 months.
Objective: To assess the performance on the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill and Bike Tests in nonathletic people following a mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury.

Methods: A search of randomized controlled trials was conducted in CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, SportDiscus and Web of Science, from 2010 to January 2021.
