- Longitudinal Trajectories and Risk Factors for Post-traumatic Chronic Pain and Pruritus Following Burn Injuries: a Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study. [Journal Article]Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2026 Oct 31. [Online ahead of print]AP
- CONCLUSIONS: Chronic pain and pruritus remain common one year after burn injury despite structured rehabilitation. PTSD was consistently associated with greater symptom burden, supporting the need for integrated psychological and somatic rehabilitation strategies.

- Robotic Assessment of Thumb Proprioception after Stroke: Reliability, Validity, and Sensitivity. [Journal Article]Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2026 Oct 29. [Online ahead of print]AP
- CONCLUSIONS: SCJ is a reliable, valid, and sensitive assessment of dynamic thumb proprioception after stroke. It revealed that thumb proprioceptive deficits are common and related to finger proprioception deficits, supporting its use in future studies of sensory impairment and rehabilitation outcomes.

- Criterion validity of the Watt-max Test and Test Assessors' judgement of V..O2max achievement in Individuals with Heart Disease. [Journal Article]Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2026 Oct 26. [Online ahead of print]AP
- CONCLUSIONS: The Watt-max test demonstrates acceptable criterion validity for identifying V̇O2max in individuals with heart disease when conducted in a primary healthcare setting. Assessors showed fair ability to identify maximal effort, yet caution is warranted when maximal effort is assessed as not achieved.

- CONCLUSIONS: Both LT and PP contributed to NLI determination, with PP more frequently the unique determinant when findings diverged. Omitting either modality led to changes in AIS grades in a small but noteworthy subset of cases. Both modalities remain essential to NLI classification, especially where motor testing is not possible.

- Using Patient-Centered Outcomes Data to Support Reciprocal Learning and Improve Rehabilitation Care. [Journal Article]Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2026 Oct 15. [Online ahead of print]AP
- Using patient-centered outcomes (PCO) data to inform individual patient care and guide health system-level learning can optimize rehabilitation outcomes. However, systematically achieving this can be challenging for a variety of reasons, including siloed activities and poor communication between team members. Due to several ways that PCO data can be used, there is a critical need for transparency…

- Time-Varying Social Integration and Long-Term All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality After Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: A Longitudinal SCIMS Study. [Journal Article]Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2026 Oct 11. [Online ahead of print]AP
- CONCLUSIONS: Lower and declining social integration were associated with higher subsequent mortality after traumatic SCI. Repeated assessment may provide prognostic information, but survivor selection, missing causes, and residual confounding limit interpretation. These findings do not establish that modifying social integration or education changes survival.
