The effect of severe obesity on three-dimensional ground reaction force signals during walking
Therefore, increasing the obesity level accentuates differences in mediolateral force but promotes no specific changes in anterior-posterior force likely due to chronic loading adaptation. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Moment arms of the anatomical subregions of the rotator cuff muscles during shoulder rotation
The posterior-deep subregion of the supraspinatus muscle behaved similar to the infraspinatus muscle, as an external rotator. The anterior-superficial and anterior-middle subregions of the supraspinatus muscle showed a biphasic behavior during rotation at a neutral position, but acted as pure external rotators during rotation at an abducted position. Inferior subregions of the infraspinatus and subscapularis muscles showed the largest moment arms compared to superior subregions. These findings support distinct functional roles of the rotator cuff muscle subregions. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Carpal tunnel tendon and sub-synovial connective tissue mechanics are affected by reduced venous return
These results suggest the influence of localized edema through venous occlusion on tendon-subsynovial connective tissue gliding within the carpal tunnel. This insight further develops our understanding of carpal tunnel syndrome pathophysiology and suggests ramifications on carpal tunnel tissue motion when the local fluid environment of the carpal tunnel is disturbed.

Assessment of axial rotation movement in cervical dystonia using cone-beam computed tomography
We demonstrated, by means of cone-beam CT, that the disorganization of movements due to cervical dystonia affected the upper cervical spine and mostly the atlantoaxial joint. The involvement of rotator muscles at this cervical level should be considered more in treatments. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Inertial sensors-based assessment to detect hallmarks of chronic ankle instability during single-leg standing: Is the healthy limb “healthy”?
Results from this study suggest that young adults with chronic ankle instability might be characterized by worse single-stance control in terms of inversion angle, and such worse performance could also be found in the contralateral leg. As such, inertial sensors could be used to assess kinematic parameters during balance tasks in people with chronic ankle instability. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

A pilot study testing an Achilles tendinopathy human cadaver model using intratendinous injection of collagenase.
Injection of collagenase into cadaveric Achilles tendons resulted in decreases in elasticity. Decreases were observed in tendons that received injections with both 10 and 20 mg/mL collagenase dosages. Further biomechanical and histological testing is needed to evaluate this cadaveric tendinopathy. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

In vivo evaluation of ankle kinematics and tibiotalar joint contact strains using digital volume correlation and 3 T clinical MRI
The findings suggested that ankle bones translate independently from each other, and in some cases in opposite directions. These findings help explain the distribution of osteochondral lesions of the talus which have previously been observed to be in medial and lateral regions of the talar dome in 90% of cases. They also provide a reason for the central region of talar dome being less susceptible to developing osteochondral lesions. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Kinematic, electromyographic and isokinetic measurements for the management of shoulder subacromial pain syndrome: A systematic review
The variables measured during movement are associated with subacromial pain syndrome or subacromial impingement syndrome. Consistency between the results supports the importance of scapula biomechanics measurements in these conditions. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Changes to breast structure and function across a woman's lifespan: Implications for managing and modeling female breast injuries
This unique review summarizes how female breasts change over a woman's life span, with implications for breast injuries sustained by females. Knowledge gaps about female breast injuries are highlighted. We conclude by recommending research required to develop evidence-based strategies to improve how we classify, prevent, and clinically manage breast injuries sustained by females.

The effect of functional calibration methods on gait kinematics in adolescents with idiopathic rotational deformity of the femur
Functional calibration methods were less accurate in determining the hip joint center location than the conventional calibration method and resulted in a knee joint axis that was less internally rotated. Importantly, there was less knee joint angle crosstalk during gait when using the functional method. Although differences between methods on gait kinematics were within clinically acceptable limits for the sagittal plane, relatively larger differences on transversal hip kinematics may hold clinical importance.
