Association of neighborhood socioeconomic context with participation in cardiac rehabilitation.
This study investigated the association of neighborhood socioeconomic context with Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) participation in the Southern Community Cohort Study- a prospective cohort study of 84 569 adults in the southeastern United States from 2002 to 2009, 52 117 of whom have Medicare or Medicaid claims. The study found that lower neighborhood socioeconomic context was associated with decreased CR participation independent of individual socioeconomic status. These data invite research on interventions to increase CR access in deprived communities.

Group enrollment and open gym format decreases cardiac rehabilitation wait times.
Researchers hypothesized that changing from individually scheduled appointments to a group enrollment and open gym format, in which patients were enrolled during group intake sessions and could arrive for subsequent cardiac rehabilitation (CR) sessions any time during open gym periods, would decrease wait times. They found that implementation of a group enrollment and open gym format was associated with a significant decrease in wait times for first CR sessions.

Needs of stroke survivors as perceived by their caregivers: a scoping review.
Caregivers usually are not involved while planning the stroke survivor's medical and rehabilitation goals and interventions. This review aimed to identify the needs of stroke survivors as perceived by their caregivers. The data synthesis from 66 studies produced the following three metathemes: (a) body functional needs, (b) activity and participatory needs, and (c) environmental needs.
