Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder that results in fragile bones and frequent fractures, often causing lower limb deformities. Surgical correction is challenging due to poor bone quality....

Abstract Lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton robots integrate sensing, control, and other technologies and exhibit the characteristics of bionics, robotics, information and control science, medicine, and other interdis...

Abstract The lower limb exoskeletons are used to assist wearers in various scenarios such as medical and industrial settings. Complex modeling errors of the exoskeleton in different application scenarios pose challenges ...

Abstract Background Segmental zoster paresis (SZP) of the lower limbs is an uncommon complication of herpes zoster (HZ). Its atypical presentation and variable prognosis make early recognition and comprehensive intervent...

Abstract Background Diabetes is associated with a high incidence of diabetic foot and peripheral artery disease and with markedly increased lifetime amputation risk. Here we investigated predictors of reamputation risk a...

ABSTRACT Objective and Aims Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potentially fatal disease that can be diagnosed with compression duplex ultrasound (CDUS). This study investigated the prevalence, anatomical distribution, and ...

Background Postoperative sleep disturbance (PSD) is a common and serious postoperative complication and is associated with poor postoperative outcomes.Aims This study aimed to investigate the effect of transcranial direc...

Background: The squat is a fundamental lower-body exercise that activates key muscles, including the rectus femoris, vastus medialis oblique, biceps femoris, and semitendinosus. Variations in angle and stability may inf...

Aplasia Cutis Congenita (ACC) is a rare congenital disorder characterised by a lack of skin at birth, most commonly affecting the scalp, though other body areas may also be involved. The lesions typically range from 0.5 ...

Background: The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the prevalence of soft tissue injuries in the upper and lower limbs among professional racquet sports players.Methods: A systematic search was conducted ...

Objectives Depict football players’ average times to return to sports (RTS) after non-contact lower limb soft-tissue injuries.Design Systematic review with meta-analysis.Data sources PubMed, WoS, Scopus, PEDro, Google ...

Abstract Objective The relationship between muscle function recovery and biomechanical alterations after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) during high-risk movements remains unclear. This study aimed to in...

Abstract Background Elite female basketball players experience a high incidence of lower-limb injuries, yet evidence remains limited regarding the applicability of common functional performance tests in this population. ...

ABSTRACT Strength and conditioning professionals continuously seek innovative strategies to enhance neuromuscular performance. This study examined muscle activation in the rectus femoris (RF), vastus lateralis (VL), vast...

BackgroundPrimary malignant bone tumors are aggressive neoplasms that frequently affect adolescents and young adults. Limb-sparing surgery (LSS) has become the preferred surgical approach when oncologically feasible; how...

BackgroundUpper limb replantation, while surgically complex, demands a multidimensional assessment of functional recovery, subjective satisfaction, and quality of life beyond mere anatomical survival of the limb.Objectiv...

BackgroundComplex anal fistulas remain a surgical challenge due to their intricate anatomy, high recurrence rates, and potential for sphincter injury. We report a rare case of complex anal fistula with multiple external ...

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 Purpose To design a coach-interpretable movement quality score for badminton footwork training using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system. Methodology We derived compact biomechanical descriptors of timing, ...

Abstract Background Brain imaging suggests the involvement of the limbic system, particularly the cingulate gyrus (GC), in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy (IE). Hypothesis A correlation exists between the side of intericta...

Abstract Background Myosin heavy chain (MyHC)-related congenital myopathies display variable age of onset and clinical manifestations depending on the mutated isoform. Cardiomyopathy, ophthalmoplegia and primarily proxim...

Background: Photogrammetry is a safe and non-invasive technique for evaluating posture in clinical settings. Body Vision is a novel system that employs photogrammetric principles to assess postural parameters. This study...
