This Special Communication summarizes how knowledge and clinical practice have evolved over the 40 years since the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation's topical issue (volume 1, issue 2) on "Minor Head Injury." We review important insights from this 1986 issue and highlight how research since has refined our understanding of concussion/traumatic brain injury pathophysiology, recovery, and long-term effects. We also discuss shifts in terminology and outline how assessment and rehabilitation approaches have developed over time. Finally, we call attention to areas of ongoing uncertainty and innovations that could help resolve them.

Objective: Return-to-learn (RTL) recommendations and management protocols for athletes after sport-related concussion (SRC) remain heterogeneous. With respect to academics after SRC, the current systematic review evaluated 3 outcome measures in each included study: 1) RTL definition, 2) RTL duration, and 3) factors associated with longer RTL.
Methods: Studies published before December 2022 that addressed RTL after an SRC were identified via a compressive literature search of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, Educational Resources Information Center, Ovid MEDLINE, and PubMed databases.

Background: Despite the promising benefits of self-guided digital interventions for adolescents recovering from concussion, attrition rates for such interventions are high. Evidence suggests that adults can develop therapeutic alliance with self-guided digital interventions, which is in turn associated with intervention engagement. However, no research has examined whether adolescents develop therapeutic alliance with self-guided digital interventions and what factors are important to its development.
