Mechanics of the foot and ankle joints during running using a multi-segment foot model compared with a single-segment model.

PLoS ONE
The primary purpose of this study was to compare the ankle joint mechanics, during the stance phase of running, computed with a multi-segment foot model (MULTI; three segments) with a traditional single segment foot model (SINGLE).

Simple geometrical analysis for mechanizing the ankle joint stretching treatment procedure of a PT using a numerical calculation

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2019
In this paper, to mechanize a human ankle joint stretching treatment that is mainly performed by a PT (Physical Therapist), the geometrical relationships among the Ankle joint, Hip joint, Sole, and pushing device rotation center are analyzed using a ...

End-stage ankle osteoarthritis: exploring the precedent causes and time course of joint degeneration

Journal of the Foot & Ankle
Introduction: End-stage ankle osteoarthritis (OA) is primarily post-traumatic, following injuries such as fractures, dislocations, and sprains. However, the timeline between initial injury and end-stage OA requiring surgical intervention remains poorly ...

Assessing the Ankle Joint Line Level Before and After Total Ankle Arthroplasty With the “Joint Line Height Ratio”

Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics, 2019
Background: Restoring the joint line is an important principle in total knee arthroplasty. However, the effect of joint line level on patient outcomes after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) remains unclear, as there is no established method for measuring ...
