Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.ABSTRACT Objective To systematically review the evidence for physical (for e.g. strengthening) and mechanical (for e.g. foot orthoses) therapies for lower limb problems in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods Randomised clinical trials of physical and mechanical interventions for lower limb problems in children with JIA were ...

Creative dance can enhance proprioception in older adults [PDF]
, 2015 Aim. It has been shown by many authors that proprioception declines with age. However, few studies have examined the effects of exercise interventions on proprioception. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a creative dance program

Biomechanical demands differentiate transitioning vs. continuous stair ascent gait in older women [PDF]
, 2013 Background Stair ascent mechanics change with age, but little is known about the differing functional demands of transitioning and continuous ascent. Work investigating the risky transition from gait to ascent is sparse, and the strategies that older ...

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.ABSTRACT Background Chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) is frequently complicated by osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT), which accelerate cartilage degeneration due to abnormal stress concentration and may progress to ankle osteoarthritis.

Chronic and acute mediators of passive viscoelasticity in human skeletal muscle fibres
Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 12, Page 1948-1965, December 1, 2025.Abstract The cellular viscoelastic modulus in skeletal muscle tissue responds dynamically to chronic stressors, such as age and exercise. Passive tissue mechanics can also be sensitive to acute stimuli, such as mechanical loading and/or activation‐induced muscle fatigue.

Journal of Primary Care & Community Health, 2010 Background/Purpose: Being overweight is defined as having a body mass index greater than 25. Reduced postural control has been implicated in the presence of increased body mass index. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of body mass index

Synthesis of optimal electrical stimulation patterns for functional motion restoration: applied to spinal cord-injured patients [PDF]
, 2014 We investigated the synthesis of electrical stimulation patterns for functional movement restoration in human paralyzed limbs. We considered the knee joint system, co-activated by the stimulated quadriceps and hamstring muscles.

Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 12, Page 1990-2006, December 1, 2025.Abstract It is well‐established that resistance training generates neural adaptations. These may be greater when exercises mainly include eccentric contractions or when muscles are trained at long length. However, it remains to be clarified whether the length at which muscles are trained influences neural adaptation following eccentric training.
