Human Behavior Recognition Using Foot Pressure Sensing Shoes

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2010
To recognize human behavior in unlimited environments, sensing shoes for measuring foot pressure distribution were developed. Seven pressure sensors were installed on an insole, and a measurement module was embedded in the shoe.

The Effect of Foot Soak Therapy Using Warm Water on the Lowering Blood Pressure in Patients with Essential Hypertension

open access: yesSouth East Asia Nursing Research, 2023
Essential hypertension is an increase in blood pressure with no known cause. Management of hypertension can be done non-pharmacologically such as massage, acupuncture, meditation, herbal treatment, and foot soak therapy using warm water.

Pressure of Fused Foot

open access: yesOrthopedics & Traumatology, 1954
Author examined the human foot pressure in 51 cases of fused feet by means of oppress spur used dental modelling.The feet examined were operated by usual methods of arthrodesis. The preoperative deformities were classified into talipes calcaneus (7 cases), equinus (15 cases), varus (15 cases), planovalgus (one case) and flail feet (13 cases).By this ...

Effect of the shoe on plantar foot pressures [PDF]

open access: yesActa Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1995
The bare foot plantar pressures were compared to in-shoe pressure measurements in 11 normal male volunteers using the EMED system. Shoes diminished pressures and forces in most areas under the foot except the medial forefoot. The hallux showed less force, a smaller contact area and a reduced contact time. Therefore a shoe can interfere with the toe-off

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Investigation of the effect of ergonomic flooring on the distribution of foot pressure in long standing

open access: yesطب کار, 2021
Introduction: Many occupations require prolonged standing during exercise, which is one of the most important causes of musculoskeletal disorders, causing pain and discomfort in the back, lower limbs, and especially the soles of the feet, resulting in ...

Design of 3D printed pressure-reducing insoles based on changes in parameters of lattice structure

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2023
Uneven distribution of pressure on the bottom of the foot or excessive local pressure shall cause discomfort. And when it gets severe, this pressure would even damage the health of the human foot, especially for people like the elderly, diabetic patients

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.
