Development of a Co‐Designed Patient Handout for Adults With Hallux Valgus

Musculoskeletal Care, Volume 24, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Patient education handouts are used to enhance patient knowledge and support decision making, although many handouts do not meet recommended readability benchmarks. For people with hallux valgus, there is a dearth of co‐designed, credible, evidence‐based and readable resources to enhance health literacy.

Comparison of Consumer Smartwatch and Research‐Grade Accelerometer‐Derived Step Counts in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 580-589, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Objective, scalable measures of function are needed in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Research‐grade accelerometers are promising but may be difficult to deploy for prolonged remote monitoring, whereas consumer smartwatches offer a practical alternative. We evaluated the feasibility of long‐term smartwatch monitoring in

Can short-term effectiveness of anti-pronation taping predict the long-term outcomes of customized foot orthoses: developing predictors to identify characteristics of patients with plantar heel pain likely to benefit from customized foot orthoses

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
Background Foot orthoses are widely used to manage plantar heel pain (PHP). However, the evidence concerning the effect of foot orthoses on PHP is not conclusive.

Interventional Feasibility Study Investigating Virtual Reality‐Based Gait Assessment With Orthoses in People With Multiple Sclerosis: A Study Protocol

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) often leads to significant impairments in gait and mobility. Although walking braces are commonly prescribed, their real‐world effectiveness is limited by insufficient adaptation. Traditional clinical assessments rely on subjective scales and may not fully reflect daily‐life challenges.
