Finite element analysis of sagittal angles of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
In this paper, the more appropriate sagittal mounting position for the femoral prosthesis is between 9 and 12 °, based on the amount of osteotomy and the peak stress of each component in a standing position. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

A literature review of biomechanical studies on physiological and pathological sacroiliac joints: Articular surface structure, joint motion, dysfunction and treatments
There is no doubt that pelvic mechanical environments affect pain induction and treatment; however, no one has yet provided a concrete explanation. Future research could help develop treatments based on sacroiliac joint biomechanics to support joint function. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Assessing site-specificity of the biomechanical properties of hamstring aponeuroses using MyotonPRO: A cadaveric study
These results suggested that the biomechanical properties of hamstring aponeuroses showed homogeneity between the sites using MyotonPRO. Urea solution could potentially neutralize the effect of formalin on the biomechanical properties of cadaveric muscle-aponeurosis-tendon units. The present findings might influence the design of subsequent cadaveric studies on hamstring muscle strains. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Quadriceps composition and function influence downhill gait biomechanics > 1 year following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Both quadriceps function and composition influence aberrant gait biomechanics following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Quadriceps composition appears to provide insight into quadriceps dysfunction independent of muscle strength, as they associated with different gait biomechanics outcomes and shared minimal variance. Future research is necessary to determine the influence of changes in quadriceps composition on joint health outcomes. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

The association between obesity, knee pain, and gait during stair descent in older adults with knee osteoarthritis
Greater obesity in older adults with knee osteoarthritis was associated with greater knee pain and higher ankle joint loads during stair descent. These results support the recommendations of osteoarthritis treatment guidelines for weight-loss as a first-line of treatment for older adults with obesity and knee osteoarthritis.

Upper limb motor dysfunction is associated with fragmented kinetics after brain injury
In complement to kinematic results, our kinetic results confirmed patients' difficulties to manage both spatially and temporally the joint degrees of freedom redundancy but revealed a fragmented compensatory motor strategy allowing patients upper limb extension despite quality alteration and decrease in energy efficiency. Motor rehabilitation should improve the management of this fragmentation strategy to improve the performance and the efficiency of active movement after brain injury. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Center of pressure palindromes reveals a wobbling standing balance in scoliotic girls
An ankle modality characterized able-bodied girl's standing balance. Girls with a moderate scoliosis privilege the palindromic zones in the antero-posterior extremities with excursions in the corners of the base of support, girls with severe scoliosis further relied on the medio-lateral zones, suggesting a wobbling standing balance.

Influence of musculoskeletal pain during gait on kinematics and selective motor control in individuals with spastic cerebral palsy: A pilot study
No significant differences in kinematics and selective-motor-control during gait were found between individuals with spastic cerebral-palsy, with and without musculoskeletal pain. This suggests that the individuals in this study may not present with obvious antalgic gait patterns, which may relate to the pre-existing altered kinematics and selective-motor-control.

A comparison between manual and automated event detection for a drop vertical jump task using motion capture
While manual event detection demonstrated reliability, automated algorithms revealed differences, specifically in events of the drop vertical jump involving the lowest squat position. The automated algorithm presents potential benefits in reducing processing time and enhancing accuracy for event identification, offering valuable insights for motion capture applications in clinical settings.

Forward to the special issue on biomechanics of breast tissues and its clinical applications
Biomechanical modelling of human breast tissue has been studied for the past 20 years for various medical applications, including surgical training, preoperative planning, diagnosis and clinical biopsy, mammography, image-guided surgery, image registration, and material parameter estimation. By simulating the deformations that occur during various breast procedures, biomechan ical modelling of the breast can help clinicians and medical device manufacturers address several challenges. Such applications usually require personalized biomechanical models. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Lower limb squat biomechanics and select clinical measures in chronic ankle instability
Individuals with chronic ankle instability had impaired weight-bearing dorsiflexion and showed impaired core stability more often, which accompanied altered squatting mechanics in both variations. Within the limbs with chronic ankle instability, single limb squats showed lesser kinematic demands but higher kinetic demands than double limb squatting. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)
