Abstract This study investigated how joint dynamics and kinematics change with increasing squat intensity in elite powerlifters performing the powerlifting-style low-bar back squat. Twenty-nine national- and internationa...

Knee-related conditions, such as anterior cruciate ligament injuries and meniscal ruptures, significantly affect mobility and quality of life. Although range-of-motion exercises are important for rehabilitation, interpre...

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes structural changes and inflammatory responses which damage the knee tissues that include the cruciate ligaments. Scientists will gain knowledge about ligament involvement in c...

Background: Open-wedge osteotomy is a widely adopted surgical technique for treating varus knee osteoarthritis. Distal tuberosity osteotomy (DTO) was developed to prevent patellofemoral joint (PFJ) complications; however...

Abstract Introduction The learning curve refers to the relationship between a learner's execution of a task and the number of attempts or time necessary to perform it in a predictable, reliable, and optimal fashion. The ...

Background: Hip and knee joint arthroplasty in many low- and middle-income countries has lengthy waiting lists as trauma-related procedures are prioritised. A comprehensive care pathway that includes prehabilitation can...

Background: The growth in popularity of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has far outpaced that of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A major challenge with UKA is symptomatic progression of osteoarthritis (OA), which...

Background: Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) of the hip and knee are widely used surgical treatments for advanced cases of osteoarthritis. Despite its effectiveness, disparities in outcomes based on socioeconomic and geogr...

The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries is increasing in the UK, with a particularly sharp increase among young female athletes participating in sport. ACL injuries result in significant morbidity, wit...

Abstract Background The arthroscopic posterior transseptal approach (TSA) allows improved visualization of the posterior compartment of the knee joint. However, it can be associated with increased risks particularly rega...

Introduction: Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common causes of anterior knee pain, yet its radiographic diagnostic indicators remain poorly defined. Aim: To evaluate morphometric parameters, inc...

Objective: Open-wedge proximal tibial osteotomy (OW-PTS) is a common surgical technique widely used to treat osteoarthritis and deformities of the knee joint. It is often enhanced with bone grafts to support healing. Thi...

Abstract This study investigated the effect of severe‐intensity exercise on neuromuscular fatigue (NMF) and torque complexity in two muscle groups of different sizes. The NMF of 11 healthy males was assessed through ma...

Background: The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is widely used to evaluate functional outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). However, there is limited consolidated evidence o...

Abstract Genicular artery embolization (GAE) has emerged as a safe and encouraging minimally invasive treatment option for patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis (OA) who have failed conventional therapies. This techn...

This paper proposes a multimodal perception-fusion-based control method for flexible exoskeleton robots to address challenges in human–robot collaboration and interaction accuracy. First, after analyzing the human–ro...

Background: Fractures of the proximal third of the tibia commonly result from high-velocity trauma, particularly road traffic accidents, and are often associated with significant soft-tissue injury. Their management rema...

A 38-year-old woman was admitted to the Department of Dermatology due to purple-pinkish macules observed on the thighs and buttocks, which were very firm on palpation. There were also several white-silverish papules on ...

Objetivou-se, com este trabalho, avaliar as medidas morfométricas de potros e potras da raça Mangalarga Marchador utilizando a análise discriminante. As medidas corporais foram feitas na semana do nascimento dos potro...

Background: Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumour, typically arising from the metaphysis of long bones. While often asymptomatic, osteochondromas can rarely lead to potential vascular complications, partic...

Abstract An automatic markerless knee tracking and registration algorithm has been proposed in the literature to avoid the marker insertion required by conventional computer-assisted knee surgery, resulting in a shorter ...

OBJETIVO: avaliar por meio da fotogrametria as alterações posturais de mulheres com dor pélvica crônica. MÉTODOS: foram avaliadas 30 mulheres com queixa de dor pélvica crônica e 37 sem essa queixa, totalizando 67 ...

Background: BPC-157 and GHK-Cu are synthetic peptides with potential in tissue repair, influencing molecular mechanisms in healing, angiogenesis and inflammation. Objective: This review synthesizes preclinical and cli...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Falls pose a significant public health risk for community‐dwelling stroke survivors. Current research on biomechanical parameters to trip perturbation in standing tasks often fails to predi...
