Characteristics of Ankle Strategy Responses to Dynamic Tilting Perturbations [PDF]

한국정밀공학회지, 2018
Maintaining balance is a factor critical and integral to our effective physical function as it relates to the normal activities of daily living. Of the “hip strategy”, “stepping strategy” and “ankle strategy”, it is known and accepted that the “ankle ...

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

South 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.

Human Behavior Recognition Using Foot Pressure Sensing Shoes

Journal 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.

Forefoot pathology in rheumatoid arthritis identified with ultrasound may not localise to areas of highest pressure: cohort observations at baseline and twelve months

, 2011
BackgroundPlantar pressures are commonly used as clinical measures, especially to determine optimum foot orthotic design. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA) high plantar foot pressures have been linked to metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint radiological erosion ...

Advanced Foot Pressure Technology for Demonstrating the Influence of Over-weight and Obesity on Ankle Joint [PDF]

, 2019
Foot pressure technology has been utilized to study the influence of over-weight and obesity on the ankle joint which because of gaining weight lead to change gait characteristics, particularly foot ailments, and has been used in academic teaching in the

The impact of rheumatoid arthritis on foot function in the early stages of disease: a clinical case series [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND Foot involvement occurs early in rheumatoid arthritis but the extent to which this impacts on the structure and function leading to impairment and foot related disability is unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical disease

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

FEBS 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 ...

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

Advances 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

FEBS 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.
