Summary: This article studies synchronization control of a novel devised treadmill-based testing apparatus for wheeled planetary rover roaming at low speed. The proposed decentralized synchronization control strategy integrating an adaptive friction compensation scheme offers satisfactory tracking performance and ameliorates internal conflicts amongst individual treadmills during rover-treadmill interaction.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effects of two different gait training modes on gait symmetry, functional mobility, and kinesiophobia in patients with lower limb burn injuries. The results showed that treadmill gait training was more effective in improving functional mobility and reducing kinesiophobia levels compared to overground gait training. Both training modes also showed significant improvements in gait symmetry.

Summary: To improve the conditions for the recovery of children with burn injuries, it is important to understand the psychological status of their parents. A survey conducted at two hospitals found that factors such as children's age, parent gender, parental psychoticism score, negative coping style, and religion significantly affected parents' psychology. Older children, higher parental psychoticism, and increased negative coping style should be focused on during hospitalization.

Summary: Burn injuries are a significant surgical issue, with a large number of deaths occurring annually worldwide, especially in low- or middle-income countries. Children in these countries are particularly at risk. The WHO has recognized the importance of burn prevention and has implemented initiatives in LMICs.

Summary: A lack of published literature exists regarding large-scale burn prevention programs in LMIC that can demonstrate sustained reductions in burn incidence. Most initiatives focus on education-based interventions, with limited involvement of environmental modification interventions. While education-based initiatives generally improve knowledge on burn safety or first aid, few measure the impact on reducing burn incidence effectively.

Summary: Infection remains a significant risk for burn patients, with factors such as male gender, older age, lower extremity burns, scald burns, full-thickness burns, treatment delays, and diabetes increasing susceptibility to infection. Prevention through isolation, handwashing, early surgical intervention, antibiotic stewardship, and nutrition support is key to reducing complications.

Summary: The study evaluated the safety and feasibility of treadmill aerobic exercise in moderate normobaric hypoxia among chronic hemiparetic stroke survivors. Results showed that moderate normobaric hypoxia exposure appeared to be a safe and feasible method to increase cardiovascular strain during submaximal exercise in chronic hemiparetic stroke survivors.

Summary: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a known complication of burns with a low incidence. The etiology is unclear, but early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving patient prognosis. This study summarizes relevant literature on potential pathogenic mechanisms, diagnosis, prophylaxis, and treatment measures of HO in burn patients.

Summary: This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of geriatric patients presenting to the emergency department with burn injuries. Findings showed that hot water scalds and flame burns were the most common types of burns in geriatric patients, with a median burn size of 3% total body surface area. After initial evaluation in the emergency department, 46.4% of patients were discharged.

Summary: The study demonstrated that burn wound progression from partial thickness to full thickness burns occurs within 2-4 hours after injury due to blood vessel occlusion and vascular endothelial cell death. Therapeutic interventions during this time window may reduce or prevent vertical progression of these injuries, leading to better outcomes for patients.

Summary: Children's vulnerability to injury is a concern due to their dependence on caregivers. Unintentional injury, such as burns, is a leading cause of death among children. This study highlights the lack of awareness and understanding of household burn risks, emphasizing the need for increased education and counseling.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the spatiotemporal and kinematic running parameters obtained by WalkerView with those recorded by a 3D motion capture system. The results showed excellent agreement between WalkerView and the motion capture system for mean step time and cadence, but lower agreement for kinematic variables. Therefore, WalkerView could serve as a practical and cost-effective tool for assessing spatiotemporal parameters of running in non-laboratory settings.

Summary: This study examines the effects of front load carriage on dynamic gait stability, step length, and trunk angle among young adults during treadmill walking. The findings suggest that carrying a front load significantly alters trunk orientation and may impact the kinematic relationship between the body's center of mass and base of support, thus increasing fall risk.
