Orthotics for First Metatarsophalangeal Osteoarthritis: Are we Asking the Wrong Question?

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Orthotic interventions are commonly used in the management of first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint osteoarthritis, yet recent systematic review evidence suggests that their average treatment effects are small and unlikely to represent clinically meaningful benefit for the average patient.

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
