Morpho‐functional analyses of the jaw apparatus in the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Psittaciformes, Aves): Adaptations to feeding behavior

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates

The pelvis doesn't walk by itself: Wider pelves reduce the cost of walking over unstable surfaces

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Walking over variable and/or unstable terrain is a key aspect of daily life and was crucial to the evolution of bipedalism. The ability to find gait solutions that maintained stability over uneven terrain for the least increase in metabolic cost was likely a hallmark of locomotor effectiveness in early humans, in particular acting as an ...

Scaling and ecomorphology of lagomorph body shape and appendicular skeleton

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Body shape is one of the most prominent features of phenotypic variation. Yet, mammalian body shapes are poorly quantified and the underlying components contributing to its diversity and its relationship to other skeletal components are rarely tested.

Disease knowledge in patients attending a diabetic foot clinic

, 2005
Background: Foot-specific patient education is an essential element of a health system diabetic foot program. Foot-specific patient education must be individualized, because of cognitive deficits in individuals with long-standing diabetes.

Estimating in vivo midfoot and hindfoot joint locations using external skin markers

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Musculoskeletal modeling offers a non‐invasive approach to analyze human movement, enabling estimation of forces that are difficult to measure experimentally. In musculoskeletal modeling, the human body is represented as rigid segments connected by joints.

Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...

Development of an IMU based 2-segment foot model for an applicable medical gait analysis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background The two most commonly instrumented gait analysis tools used are Optical Motion Capture systems (OMC) and Inertial Measurement Units (IMU). To date, OMC based gait analysis is considered the gold-standard.

Classifications Based on Dynamic Navicular Drop during Gait and Characteristics of Flat Foot Muscle Morphology

Biomechanics
This study investigated the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) as a risk factor for medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), hypothesizing that overuse of extrinsic foot muscles to prevent MLA collapse can lead to disability.

Anteromedial Femoral Tunnel Placement Reduces Graft Failure Risk Without Affecting Rotational Stability in Anatomic Single‐Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To compare clinical outcomes and graft failure between anatomical femoral tunnel (FT) placement at the central and anteromedial bundle (AMB) positions. Methods A systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses guidelines.

Accurate Measurement in All‐inside Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Technical Note

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract With the increasing rate of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLr) and growing adoption of the all‐inside PCLr, the existing literature lacks an optimal surgical protocol for this technique. It is well recognized that variations in knee size and intraoperative positioning pose challenges in determining the key parameter—the length ...
