Tongue-placed tactile biofeedback suppresses the deleterious effects of muscle fatigue on joint position sense at the ankle [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Brain Research 183, 2 (2007) 235-40, 2007
Whereas the acuity of the position sense at the ankle can be disturbed by muscle fatigue, it recently also has been shown to be improved, under normal ankle neuromuscular state, through the use of an artificial tongue-placed tactile biofeedback.

Re-weighting of somatosensory inputs from the foot and the ankle for controlling posture during quiet standing following trunk extensor muscles fatigue [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Brain Research 183, 3 (2007) 323-7, 2008
The present study focused on the effects of trunk extensor muscles fatigue on postural control during quiet standing under different somatosensory conditions from the foot and the ankle. With this aim, 20 young healthy adults were asked to stand as immobile as possible in two conditions of No fatigue and Fatigue of trunk extensor muscles. In Experiment

Optimizing the Use of an Artificial Tongue-Placed Tactile Biofeedback for Improving Ankle Joint Position Sense in Humans [PDF]

open access: yes28th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (2006) 6029-6032, 2006
The performance of an artificial tongue-placed tactile biofeedback device for improving ankle joint position sense was assessed in 12 young healthy adults using an active matching task. The underlying principle of this system consists of supplying individuals with supplementary information about the position of the matching ankle relative to the ...

Muscle fatigue degrades force sense at the ankle joint [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
To investigate the effects of muscle fatigue on force sense at the ankle joint, 10 young healthy adults were asked to perform an isometric contra-lateral force ankle-matching task in two experimental conditions of: (1) no-fatigue and (2) fatigue of the plantar-flexor muscles.

Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Carrying MicroRNA-181c-5p Promote BMP2-Induced Repair of Cartilage Injury through Inhibition of SMAD7 Expression

open access: yesStem Cells International, 2022
The therapy role of mesenchymal stem cell- (MSC-) derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in cartilage regeneration has been well studied. Herein, we tried to analyze the role of human umbilical cord MSC- (hUCMSC-) EVs carrying microRNA- (miR-) 181c-5p in ...

Recent Progress in the Classification and Operation of Sacral Fractures

open access: yesEmergency Medicine International, 2023
Most sacral fractures are caused by high-energy, violent injuries, often accompanied by lumbosacral plexus injuries, which can cause instability of the posterior pelvic ring or lumbosacral junction in severe cases.

Comparison of Calcaneal Subchondral Injection of Calcium Phosphate and Plantar Fasciotomy vs Plantar Fasciotomy Alone for Refractory Infracalcaneal Heel Pain

open access: yesFoot & Ankle Orthopaedics, 2021
Background: Treatment of chronic refractory heel pain has evolved to consider calcaneal structural fatigue as a component of the symptom profile. While concomitant calcium phosphate injection has become a method of addressing the accompanying calcaneal ...

Investigation of the Characteristics and Mechanism of Interosseous Membrane Injuries in Typical Maisonneuve Fracture

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, 2023
Objectives Previous studies on the mechanism and scope of interosseous membrane injury in Maisonneuve fractures have been inconsistent. In order to better guide clinical treatment, the characteristics and mechanism of interosseous membrane injuries and ...
