A pilot study comparing prosthetic to sound limb gait mechanics during a turning task in people with transtibial amputation
This descriptive study offers the first phase-specific quantification of turning biomechanics in people with lower limb amputation. Results indicate that people with unilateral transtibial amputation spend more time on and experience higher impulses through their sound compared to their prosthetic limb during 90 ° turns, and that the prosthetic limb is performing differently than the sound limb, potentially increasing risks of injury or falls.

A systematic review of perturbation-based balance training on reducing fall risk among individuals with stroke
The existing evidence does not conclusively support the reduction in falls and improvements in fall risk factors resulting from perturbation-based balance training among people with stroke. Such an inconsistent finding could be due to the small sample sizes and variations in perturbation-based balance training protocols across studies. More high-quality studies are needed to further determine the effects of perturbation-based balance training on reducing fall risk in people with stroke. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Acoustical determination of primary stability of femoral short stem during uncemented hip implantation
In conclusion, monitoring, the hammer blows sound might allow quantification of the primary stability of the implant. Sound analysis including patient parameters and a classification algorithm could provide a precise characterization of implant stability. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Does index-level pedicle screw instrumentation affect cage subsidence after vertebral body replacement? – A biomechanical study in human cadaveric osteoporotic specimens
Our results demonstrate pedicle screw instrumentation at index-level vertebra should be considered when possbile as it may have a protective effect against cage subsidence in patients undergoing vertebral body replacement surgery. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Biomechanical and neuromuscular control characteristics of sit-to-stand transfer in young and older adults: A systematic review with implications for balance regulation mechanisms
Falls are major health concerns in older adults. Sit-to-stand transfer is an important functional movement that can predict falling risk in older adults. Aging-associated declines in neuromechanical control of movement may negatively impact sit-to-stand performance.This systematic review aims to summarize differences in neuromechanical characteristics of younger vs. older adults that likely affect balance regulation during sit-to-stand.

The effectiveness of clinic versus home-based, artificial intelligence-guided therapy in patients with low back pain: Non-randomized clinical trial
A lack of consistent significance indicated that the hypothesis was not supported. AI-guided, telehealth exercise produced comparable outcomes in both home and clinical settings. Telehealth options may offer a lower-cost alternative to clinic-based exercise therapy for patients with nonspecific lower back pain. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Biomechanical evaluation of different semi-rigid junctional fixation techniques using finite element analysis
The relationship between the range of motion transition and the reductions in posterior ligament complex and nucleus pulposus stresses was complex and dependent on the fixation techniques. Clinical trials are required to compare the effectiveness of semi-rigid junctional fixation techniques in terms of reducing proximal junctional failure incidence rates.

Advances in fixation strength of reorienting rectangular triple pelvic innominate osteotomies – A biomechanical investigation of two screw fixation techniques
Bidirectional screw alignment does not lead to significant advantages compared to pure monoaxial if all three axial screws are evenly distributed over the osteotomy geometry. The triple pelvis innominate osteotomy is susceptible to changes in anteversion and inclination under partial weight bearing. Cautious rehabilitation protocols are recommended.
