Knee kinetics and the medial femoral cartilage cross-sectional area response to loading in indviduals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
The propensity of femoral cartilage to acutely increase cross-sectional area in response to walking is consistent with less-dynamic knee abduction and knee extension moment profiles. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

In-shoe plantar pressure depends on walking speed and type of weight-bearing activity in people with diabetes at high risk of foot ulceration
In-shoe plantar pressure depends on walking speed and type of weight-bearing activity. Only measuring pressures to evaluate footwear at self-selected walking speed in a laboratory setting may not accurately represent the stress on the foot in daily life of the high-risk patient; a more comprehensive assessment is suggested.

Remotely delivered, individualized, and self-directed gait modification for knee osteoarthritis: A pilot trial
A personalized, self-directed gait modification supported with telerehabilitation is feasible, and the preliminary effects on symptoms and biomechanics align with past trials. A larger trial is warranted to evaluate efficacy. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Combined gait analysis and radiologic examination in children with X-linked hypophosphatemia
Gait abnormalities induced in X-linked hypophosphataemia have been described in a large cohort of children. Links between gait alterations and lower limb deformities were found, with varus deformities standing out. Since bony deformities appear when X-linked hypophosphatemic children start walking and have been found to alter gait patterns, we suggest that combining radiology with gait analysis may improve the clinical management of X-linked hypophosphataemia.

Differences in angular kinematics when using thigh, implant, or medial knee markers in osseointegrated transfemoral prosthetic gait
This finding suggests that when studying osseointegration gait, using an implant marker will result in more accurate femoral and knee joint motion than using the thigh marker. Changing the selection of markers can reduce the errors of knee varus/valgus and hip kinematics in osseointegrated transfemoral prosthetic gait. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Modified proximal thigh kinematics captured with a novel smartphone app in individuals with a history of recurrent ankle sprains and altered dorsiflexion with walking
Increased dorsiflexion was present in both limbs of the recurrent ankle sprain group with walking. AccWalker does not assess ankle movement, but uniquely identified thigh motion impairments associated with recurrent ankle sprains in their unaffected-limb, potentially identifying central deficits associated with recurrent ankle sprains. This app has clinical implications for assessing potential pathological movement that can be corrected through rehabilitation. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

The influence of gender on shoulder kinematics and head-hip technique during non-level transfers in full-time wheelchair users
Manual wheelchair users use unique kinematic requirements when using the head-hip during level and non-level transfers. Women may be at decreased risk of chronic shoulder pain due to a greater use of the head-hip technique during non-level transfers. Nonetheless, more research that integrates kinetics and strength assessments during non-level transfer biomechanical analyses is needed to better understand technical requirements of non-level transfers in manual wheelchair users.

Differences in the elastic modulus of the lumbar muscles between female athletes with and without low back pain
These results provide new insights into the microscopic characteristics of low back pain pathophysiology in young female athletes. Stiffness assessment using shear wave elastography will help provide a specific treatment strategy for female athletes with low back pain or a history of low back pain.

Multi-day monitoring of foot progression angles during unsupervised, real-world walking in people with and without knee osteoarthritis
This study provides the first characterization of foot progression angles during real-world walking in people with and without symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. These results indicate that foot progression angles can be feasibly and reliably measured in unsupervised real-world walking conditions. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Shear stress metrics associated with pro-atherogenic high-risk anatomical features in a carotid artery bifurcation model
These results highlight the effectiveness of oscillatory-shear-index, to augment classical time-averaged-wall-shear-stress, in evaluating pro-atherogenic geometry features. Furthermore, the flow split at the bifurcation is a promising clinical indicator for atherosclerosis risk as it can be directly accessed using clinical imaging, whereas shear-stress-metrics cannot.

Comparison of conventional socket attachment and bone-anchored prosthesis for persons living with transfemoral amputation - mobility and quality of life
Large differences in the measured outcomes in both groups illustrate the very different capabilities of the individual participants, which is apparently not primarily determined by the type of treatment. For patients who are satisfied with the socket treatment and perform well, bone-anchored prosthesis systems may not necessarily improve their functional capabilities and perceived quality of life.
