A systematic review of the claw toe deformity: What is known and what is needed apart from surgical procedures. [PDF]

Int Wound J
Abstract The claw toe deformity is a painful condition that mainly affects the adult population. Although there are many different treatments to solve the deformity, there is no optimal procedure to restore the normal foot mechanics. The objective of this review was to identify the technical features of the kinematic evaluation methods used in patients

The influence of equine hoof conformation on the initiation and progression of laminitis

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 862-871, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Background The health and performance of horses are significantly affected by diseases associated with the hoof. Laminitis is a critical hoof disease that causes pain and, potentially, severe hoof and bone pathology. Objective To generate an equine hoof finite element (FE) model to investigate the impact of normal and toe‐in hoof conformations

FallSkip device is a useful tool for fall risk assessment in sarcopenic older community people

International Journal of Older People Nursing, Volume 17, Issue 3, May 2022., 2022
Abstract Purpose Fall prevention is a major health concern for the ageing population. Sarcopenia is considered a risk factor for falls. Some instruments, such as Time Up and Go (TUG), are used for screening risk. The use of sensors has also been shown to be a viable tool that can provide accurate, cost‐effective, and easy to manage assessment of fall ...

Overall dynamic body acceleration measures activity differently on large versus small aquatic animals

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 447-458, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Acceleration‐based proxies for activity and energy expenditure are widely used in bio‐logging studies of animal movement and locomotion to explore biomechanical strategies, energetic costs of behaviour, habitat use and the impact of anthropogenic disturbance.
