**Court Findings:**
After reviewing the administrative record, the court assessed whether the ALJ's determination was based on substantial evidence and whether the decision-making process adhered to relevant legal standards. The court analyzed the adequacy of the evaluation of medical evidence, the treatment history, and Burky’s functional limitations.
**Conclusion:**
