3D Radiomic Texture Analysis of Quantitative Muscle MRI Enhances the Distinction Between Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 and Charcot–Marie‐Tooth Neuropathy Type 1A: A Proof‐of‐Concept Study

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 8, August 2026.
In this proof‐of‐concept study, 3D radiomic texture analysis of quantitative muscle MRI (proton density fat fraction (PDFF, %) maps) distinguished the myogenic disease DM1 from the neurogenic disease CMT1A. Compared with DM1, CMT1A showed higher entropy, contrast, and lower homogeneity, reflecting a reticular vs.

Compensatory Effects of Joint Bracing From a Kinetic Chain Perspective: Lower Limb Movement Coordination Analysis During Badminton Lunge Movements

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated ankle, knee, and hip joint movement coordination during brace use via a lower‐limb kinematic chain approach, which may influence biomechanical factors associated with injury risk. Twenty badminton players performed a left forecourt kick lunge under four brace conditions. Kinematic and kinetic data were collected using a

Foot orthoses improve kinematic measurement in young women with biomechanical abnormality

Universa Medicina, 2015
BACKGROUND Foot pronation causes biomechanical abnormalities in the form of functional leg-length disparity. Foot orthoses are often used in the treatment of abnormal pronation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of foot orthoses on abnormal

Combining Mendelian Randomization and Experimental Validation to Reveal the Causal Relationship Between Hallux Valgus and Serum Metabolites and to Identify Their Therapeutic Targets and Relevant Components

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study employed a two‐sample Mendelian randomization approach to investigate the causal relationship between 1400 serum metabolites and hallux valgus (HV). Cysteine was identified as a key metabolite with a significant negative causal association with HV.

Quantitative Muscle MRI of the Lower Extremities Reveals Different Patterns of Involvement in Classic Infantile and Young Late‐Onset Pompe Patients

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT With increased survival due to enzyme replacement therapy, children with classic infantile Pompe disease tend to develop a clinical phenotype with pronounced distal muscle weakness, while late‐onset patients typically exhibit proximal muscle weakness.
