The effect of full‐limb flexion tests on static and dynamic muscle activity and locomotion asymmetry in owner‐sound horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Flexion tests are commonly used in equine locomotion examinations to identify underlying locomotor issues, yet their neuromuscular effects remain poorly understood. Response variability raises concerns about their clinical value in lameness assessments and pre‐purchase evaluations.

Evaluation of Head Posture in Wheelchair‐Bound Individuals and Its Relation to Malocclusion: A Proof‐of‐Concept Study

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Malocclusions are significantly more prevalent among individuals with physical and mental disabilities. Head posture, particularly in wheelchair‐bound individuals, may play a role in craniofacial growth and occlusal development, but its specific impact remains poorly understood. Objective To evaluate head posture in wheelchair‐bound

Variations in downslope activity and bottom current dynamics in a land‐detached submarine channel system since the Last Glacial Maximum

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Gollum Channel System is a land‐detached large‐scale canyon‐channel system situated offshore southwest Ireland on the Northeast Atlantic margin. The system has been considered inactive with downslope gravity flows since the last glacial period, but geophysical data in some of its branches do suggest Holocene activity.

Surviving the Post–Biafran War by Navigating the Igbo People's Igba‐Boi Apprenticeship Model of Entrepreneurship

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT After the Nigerian Civil War, the Biafrans started from scratch through trades, mostly adopting the igba‐boi apprenticeship system in Nigeria. This paper examines the impact of the igba‐boi entrepreneurship system in post‐Biafra for the survival of the Igbo identity.

In‐Field Ecological Momentary Assessment From Wearable Motion Sensors and Self‐Report in a Chronic Low Back Pain Cohort

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
In a large cohort of adults with chronic low back pain, real‐time ecological momentary assessment and multisite wearable sensors were used to characterize daily pain and physical activity in participants' natural environments. While participants frequently reported low pain intensity and moderate activity levels, objective sensor data from the wrist ...

Development of a Grasshopper‐Leg‐Inspired Back‐Type Exoskeleton for the Reduction of Muscle Activation During Stoop Activities

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 739-760, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Farmers frequently suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back pain (LBP), mainly due to occupational ergonomic factors such as repetitive stooping and lifting. This study proposes using an exoskeleton to reduce LBP risk by providing external torque to the hip joints.

System Integration and Field Testing of Low‐Cost Autonomous Platooning Platforms: Collision Avoidance Scenario

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 847-878, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the development and validation of a scalable platooning system based on the predecessor‐following (PF) topology, designed for low‐cost follower platforms. It integrates key technologies such as localization, path planning, profile generation, and low‐level control to create a practical solution.

Friction Shock Absorbers and Reverse Thrust for Fast Multirotor Landing on High‐Speed Vehicles

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 1068-1090, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Typical landing gears of small uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAV) limit their capability to land on vehicles moving at more than 20–50 km/h due to high drag forces, high pitch angles and potentially high relative horizontal velocities. To enable landing at higher speeds, a combination of lightweight friction shock absorbers and reverse thrust ...
