Optimal hinge level in opening wedge high tibial osteotomy: Biomechanical analysis using finite element method
The findings of this study demonstrate that the hinge at the point where the upper end of the articular cartilage of the proximal tibiofibular joint is located provides the least possibility of lateral tibial cortex fracture, as this is an anatomically independent position from the fibula.

Eight weeks of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching and static stretching do not affect muscle-tendon properties, muscle strength, and joint function in children with spastic cerebral palsy
The findings support the idea that manual stretching (neither proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching nor static stretching) performed in isolation for eight weeks may not be appropriate to evoke significant changes in muscle-tendon properties, voluntary muscle strength, or joint function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.Clinical trial registration number: NCT04570358 (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Changes in passive stiffness and length of the semitendinosus muscles in rats with arthritis-induced knee flexion contracture
Our results suggest that increased muscle stiffness, rather than muscle shortening, contributes to myogenic contracture detected during the early stage of arthritis. The increased muscle stiffness cannot be explained by excess collagen. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Plantar sensation, proprioception, and balance levels in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus
The aim of the study was to compare plantar sensation, proprioception, and balance levels between pregnant women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and healthy pregnant women. Also, we aimed to investigate the relationship between parameters that were found to be different and sensory sensitivity, balance, and position sense. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

The effect of morphometric and geometric indices of the human calvarium on mechanical response
Morphometric and geometric properties had a key influence on the calvarium's biomechanics. Trabecular bone pattern factor and the morphometry and geometry of the cortical tables must be considered when evaluating the mechanical response of the calvarium. These properties can aid the design of surrogate models of the skull that seek to mimic its mechanical response for head impact simulation. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Quantification of mechanical properties in long-term in vivo used silicone catheter lines according to DIN 10555-3
In vivo long-term used silicone catheters showed significantly lower ultimate strength than unused ones. It is likely that in situ altering changes the mechanical properties of catheters and may potentially lead to failure. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Recovery of the shoulder kinematics after reverse shoulder arthroplasty
Shoulder kinematics may be improved after reverse shoulder arthroplasty in the postoperative period. Focusing on scapular stabilization and deltoid muscle control in the postoperative rehabilitation program may enhance the shoulder kinematics and upper extremity function.

Objective assessment of mobility among adults with diabetes and end-stage renal disease using walking aid: A cross-sectional cohort study
Those undergoing hemodialysis often lead sedentary lives, with mobility affected by fear of falling and plantar numbness. Using walking aids can help, but it doesn't guarantee more walking. A combined psychosocial and physical therapy approach is key for managing fall concerns and improving mobility. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Pedicle screw augmentation in posterior constructs of the thoracolumbar spine: How many pedicle screws should be augmented?
Global failure loads were comparable among the three groups and unchanged with augmentation because the adjacent segment and not the instrumentation failed first. Augmentation of all screws showed significant improved in screw anchorage. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Assessing carpal kinematics following scapholunate interosseous ligament injury ex vivo using four-dimensional dynamic computed tomography
Dynamic CT enhances our understanding of carpal arthrokinematics in a cadaveric model of SLIL injury. Scapholunate median interosseous proximities in flexion, extension, and ulnar deviation best demonstrate ligamentous integrity. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Group differences and associations between patient-reported outcomes and physical characteristics in chronic low back pain patients and healthy controls
Observed group differences in tandem balance agree with previous studies, indicating impaired proprioception. The current findings provide preliminary evidence that balance and trunk sensorimotor characteristics were significantly associated with patient-reported outcomes in patients. Early and period screening could help clinicians further categorize patients and develop objective treatment plans. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Clinically useful finite element models of the natural ankle – A review
Finite element simulation of the ankle shows promise as a clinical tool for improving outcomes. Standardisation of model creation and standardisation of reporting would increase trust, and enable independent validation, through which successful clinical application of the research could be realised.
