Survival after burn injury has markedly improved due to advances in emergency care, surgical management, and rehabilitation. However, survival represents only the beginning of a prolonged recovery process often complicated by persistent physical and psychological sequelae [1,2]. Burn survivors frequently experience chronic pain, pruritus, hypertrophic scarring, contractures, neuromuscular deficits, and substantial mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress.

Despite the thumb’s critical role in dexterity and its dense sensory innervation, thumb proprioceptive deficits after stroke remain limited due to the limited nature of clinical assessments. This study evaluated the reliability, validity, and sensitivity of a novel robotic assessment of thumb proprioception, SomatoCircleJump (SCJ), in individuals with chronic stroke.

Smart home technology can help people living with dementia remain safe and live more independently at home. These technologies also serve as support systems for family members, care partners, health care professionals, and community organizations. We described smart home technology and pinpointed devices that can help people living with dementia. We also explored the potential benefits and limitations of these technologies. We would like to emphasize that the users’ needs, preferences, abilities, privacy, and rights should be carefully considered when selecting devices and technologies that best meet their individual needs.

We read with great interest the article by Young et al, “Effects of a Teleexercise Movement-to-Music Intervention on Health Outcomes in Individuals With Mobility Disabilities: A Randomized Controlled Trial,” published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (2025;106:1654-1664).1 The study addresses an important question regarding remotely delivered exercise for people with mobility disabilities and provides potentially valuable evidence for rehabilitation practice. However, we noted several statistical reporting issues that warrant clarification because they may affect interpretation of the reported treatment effects.

The randomized trial by Duygu-Yildiz et al.1 addresses a practical question: can manual lymph drainage (MLD) be omitted from compression-based treatment for stage 2-3 lower extremity lymphedema without an unacceptable loss of efficacy? The standardized compression protocol and objective tissue measurements are strengths. However, the central noninferiority conclusion appears unsupported by the reported treatment contrast.

Despite a decline in mortality rates over recent decades, heart disease remains a leading cause of death worldwide 1. Current cardiac rehabilitation guidelines recommend a comprehensive approach combining lifestyle modification, psychological support, and structured exercise training 2,3. Participants referred to cardiac rehabilitation in primary healthcare must have clinically stable heart disease (ischemic heart disease, heart failure, heart valve repair or replacement). Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation is widely implemented across healthcare systems to reduce the recurrence of adverse cardiovascular events.
