Most Readmissions Following Ankle Fracture Surgery Are Unrelated to Surgical Site Issues
Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics, 2017 Background: Ankle fracture surgeries are generally safe and effective procedures; however, as quality-based reimbursement models are increasingly affected by postoperative readmission, we aimed to determine the causes and risk factors for readmission ...

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

Integrated and Lightweight Design of Electro-hydraulic Ankle Prosthesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 For lower limb amputees, an active ankle joint prosthesis can provide basic mobility functions. This study focuses on an ankle joint prosthesis system based on the principle of electric-hydraulic actuation. By analyzing the characteristics of human gait cycles and the mechanics of ankle joint movement, a lightweight and integrated ankle joint ...

Heterozygous variants in AP4S1 are not associated with a neurological phenotype
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.Abstract Biallelic loss‐of‐function variants in AP4S1 cause childhood‐onset hereditary spastic paraplegia. A recent report suggested that heterozygous AP4S1 variants lead to a syndrome of lower limb spasticity and dysregulation of sphincter function. We critically evaluate this claim against clinical observations in 28 heterozygous carriers of the same

Ankle Joints Are Beneficial When Optimizing Supported Real-world Bipedal Robot Gaits [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Legged robots promise higher versatility and the ability to traverse much more difficult terrains than their wheeled counterparts. Even though the use of legged robots have increased drastically in the last few years, they are still not close to the performance seen from legged animals in nature.
