Rehabilitation scoring systems are most useful when their outputs can be reviewed and interpreted within clinical workflows. This study presents PhaseAware, a compact framework for continuous rehabilitation quality assessment that combines a temporal backbone with phase- and body-group descriptors through a backbone-conditioned gated residual pathway. The model was evaluated on the UI-PRMD deep-squat protocol and further tested on the KIMORE squatting subset. On UI-PRMD, PhaseAware achieved an RMSE of 0.0230, corresponding to an 88.9% reduction relative to the accepted baseline. It also maintained favorable performance on KIMORE, suggesting that the phase-aware design transfers across related squatting protocols. In addition to score prediction, PhaseAware generates structured review cues based on phase- and body-level sensitivity, highlighting the movement stages and body regions most relevant to each prediction. The architecture employs a backbone-conditioned gated residual mechanism to stabilize feature representation, supporting use in resource-constrained settings. These cues are intended to support clinician review, boundary-case monitoring, and human-in-the-loop triage rather than autonomous decision-making. Overall, PhaseAware offers a practical and interpretable approach to rehabilitation scoring that may help integrate automated assessment into information systems while preserving clinician oversight.

Time series foundation models (TSFMs) have emerged as general-purpose models for time series analysis, but pretraining alone is often insufficient for reliable downstream deployment. Bridging this gap requires further intervention to handle domain shift, task heterogeneity, limited supervision, and computational constraints, which motivates post-training as a broad class of methods to adapt, augment, compose, calibrate, or specialize pretrained TSFMs for downstream tasks. In this work, we analyze TSFM post-training methods based on their locus of intervention in the prediction pipeline, yielding five categories: parameter adaptation, context augmentation, model composition, output processing and uncertainty control, and compression and specialization. Within each category, we study main representative methods and discuss their current limitations. We further identify future directions toward controlled adaptation, reliable context construction, uncertainty-aware model composition, calibrated output processing, and deployment-aware specialization. Overall, by providing a unifying framework for the emerging TSFM post-training landscape, this work aims to support future research to navigate the design space between a pretrained TSFM and its reliable downstream deployment.

Long-range vehicle trajectories provide important spatio-temporal evidence for traffic safety analysis, autonomous driving evaluation, and data-driven traffic management, yet continuously recovering them from fixed highway cameras remains difficult. As vehicles recede into distant road regions, perspective compression and scale decay often fragment or prematurely terminate automatic tracklets, even when their continuation remains identifiable from motion consistency across neighboring frames. We formulate this problem as recovering the far-range continuation of a vehicle trajectory from a reliable near-field tracklet. We introduce LoRFT, to our knowledge the first open benchmark dedicated to long-range vehicle trajectory reconstruction from fixed highway cameras. LoRFT comprises 22 expressway surveillance scenes, 366,109 video frames, 6,601 manually verified trajectories, 2,694,889 bounding boxes, road-geometry annotations, scene-level splits, and evaluation scripts. We further propose Map-RSTNet, a map-aware residual sequence-to-sequence model that reconstructs distant trajectories in a road-geometry-aligned state space and dynamically refreshes local road geometry during decoding. On LoRFT, Map-RSTNet reduces ADE, FDE, and 5-second RMSE by 11.0%, 15.4%, and 10.5%, respectively, relative to the strongest baseline. These results demonstrate that road-geometry-aware reconstruction can extend usable trajectory records from existing fixed-camera infrastructure. LoRFT provides a reproducible testbed for long-range vehicle trajectory reconstruction.
