Comparison of Ankle Proprioception Between Pregnant and Non Pregnant Women [PDF]
, 2011 Pregnant women report falls especially during their third trimester. Physiological changes along with ligament laxity can affect the joint proprioception in this population.

Two-week joint mobilization intervention improves self-reported function, range of motion, and dynamic balance in those with chronic ankle instability [PDF]
, 2012 We examined the effect of a 2-week anterior-to-posterior ankle joint mobilization intervention on weight-bearing dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), dynamic balance, and self-reported function in subjects with chronic ankle instability (CAI).

Reducing Personalization Time and Energy Cost While Walking Outdoors with a Portable Exosuit
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Rapid Real‐World Optimization! An AF‐based human‐in‐the‐loop optimization strategy rapidly personalizes a portable hip extension exosuit for incline walking. Real‐time Bayesian optimization of assistive force significantly reduces metabolic energy—up to 16.2%—while converging in just 3 min 24 s.

Ankle joint pressure change in varus malalignment of the tibia
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020 Background Varus malalignment of the tibia could alter ankle biomechanics, and might lead to degenerative changes of the ankle joint. However, previous studies failed to report the detailed changes of ankle biomechanics in varus malalignment of the tibia.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study introduces a hybrid robot that integrates mechanical assistance by musculoskeletons (i.e., soft pneumatic muscle with rigid exoskeletal extensions), neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and vibrotactile feedback in a lightweight wearable mechatronic complex applicable to the paretic ankle–foot poststroke for gait restoration. The system can

Exploración de la flexión dorsal del tobillo: Una revisión [PDF]
, 2011 The ankle joint is an important part of the musculoskeletal system necessary for normal ambulation. Reduced range of movement at this joint has been termed as gastrocnemius contracture, limited ankle dorsiflexion and ankle equinus.

Liquid Metal Sensors for Soft Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This review thoroughly reviews liquid metal sensors in soft robots. Their unique material properties like high conductivity and good biocompatibility are analyzed. Working principles are classified, and applications in environmental perception, motion detection, and human—robot interaction are introduced.
