Modified Star Excursion Balance Test Performance in Individuals With Chronic Ankle Instability: A Participant‐Level Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction For 1 in 5 individuals, an initial ankle sprain results in chronic ankle instability (CAI). Research is inconclusive as to whether individuals with CAI display decreased stability performance. This study conducted a participant‐level analysis to determine normative values for modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT ...

Modeling, Evaluation, and In Vivo Estimation of Muscle Cell Diameter With the Random Permeable Barrier Model: Correlation With Subject Characteristics and Isometric Torque

open access: yesNMR in Biomedicine, Volume 39, Issue 3, March 2026.
We evaluated the random permeable barrier model (RPBM) through simulations, model fitting, and in vivo analysis of 100 healthy adults. Simulations showed that stable estimates of muscle cell diameter and membrane permeability require constraining τ and fixing D0 at ~0.9 of axial diffusivity at long diffusion times.

Objective functional performance 1 year after total knee arthroplasty does not differ for patients with symptoms of anxiety, depression or pain catastrophizing: A prospective study of 289 patients

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Orthopaedics, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Preoperative anxiety, depression and pain catastrophizing (PC) symptoms are associated with inferior patient‐reported outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It remains unclear whether such differences also exist for objective outcomes such as strength, range of motion (ROM) and timed up and go (TUG).

Objective clinical tests to inform decision‐making prior to return to sport in athletes with shoulder instability: A scoping review

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 268-283, January 2026.
Abstract Purpose This review systematically maps the existing research on objective return to sport criteria for shoulder injuries, with a focus on clinical tests that inform decision‐making. Methods A scoping review was performed. The following databases were searched from inception up to July 2025: Cochrane Library, Embase, Medline, PEDRo, Cinahl and
