Objective: This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the application of brain- computer interface (BCI) in rehabilitation medicine, assessing the current state, developmental trends, and future potential of this field. By systematically analyzing relevant literature, we seek to identify key research themes and enhance understanding of BCI technology in rehabilitation.
Methods: We utilized bibliometric analysis tools such as VOSviewer and CiteSpace to screen and analyze 426 relevant articles from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. We quantitatively evaluated citation patterns, publication trends, and the collaboration networks of research institutions and authors to uncover research hotspots and frontier dynamics in the field.
Results: The findings indicate a continuous increase in research publications since 2003, with a notable peak occurring between 2019 and 2021. The analysis revealed that motor imagery, motor recovery, and signal processing are the predominant research themes. Furthermore, the United States and China are leading in the publication volume related to BCI and rehabilitation medicine. Key research institutions include the University of Tübingen and the New York State Department of Health, with significant contributions from scholars like Niels Birbaumer.
Conclusion: Although the current research on BCI in rehabilitation medicine shows significant potential and efficacy, further exploration of certain research directions is needed, along with the promotion of interdisciplinary collaboration to comprehensively address complex real-world issues such as motor function impairment. Future research should focus on optimizing training models, enhancing technical feasibility, and exploring home rehabilitation applications to facilitate the broader adoption of BCI technology in rehabilitation medicine.

Background: Sedentary behavior (SB) is associated with chronic musculoskeletal pain, but limited evidence exists about its impact on chronic spinal pain (CSP).
Aim: This study aims to explore the relationship between SB, physical activity, and the risk of CSP.
Design: Cross-sectional and cohort study design.

Background: There is limited research on the Minimal Important Change (MIC) of the Chinese Western Aphasia Battery (WAB). Since an MIC for Chinese WAB has yet to be established, the clinical implications of data using the Chinese WAB remain unclear.
Aim: This study was to establish the MIC of the Aphasia Quotient (AQ) of the Chinese WAB.

Background: Impaired body perception could contribute to the pain experience and be a possible treatment target. The Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (FreBAQ) is the only self-report questionnaire to assess back-specific self-perception.
Aim: The aim of this study was to develop a French version of the FreBAQ (FreBAQ-FR) and to evaluate its psychometric properties.

Children with neurodevelopmental disabilities living in rural and low-resourced regions within the United States, such as Appalachia, face gaps and barriers to accessing healthcare services due to a shortage of providers, specialists, hospitals, and clinics. Without access to specialized medical and rehabilitation services, their performance across developmental domains and participation within their communities is likely suboptimal. The purpose of this study was to identify both intrinsic and extrinsic factors using a mixed-methods approach to better understand factors that may impact performance across developmental domains and participation for children with disabilities living in Appalachia.
