Advanced Process Chain for Manufacturing Individual 3D-Printed Insoles for Patients with Diabetic Foot Syndrome

Applied Sciences
The use of diabetic insoles is crucial for preventing and rehabilitating foot ulcers associated with diabetic foot syndrome. However, conventional insole manufacturing is often expensive, labour-intensive, and requires specialised expertise.

Why Use Immersive Virtual Reality to Assess Gait in Functional Motor Disorders?

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Functional motor disorders (FMD) are disabling conditions modulated by attentional demands. Immersive virtual reality (iVR) engages multiple attentional and sensory networks, but its application in people with FMD (PwFMD) remains limited.

Validity of Instrumented Insoles for Step Counting, Posture and Activity Recognition: A Systematic Review

Sensors, 2019
With the growing interest in daily activity monitoring, several insole designs have been developed to identify postures, detect activities, and count steps. However, the validity of these devices is not clearly established.

Effect of video‐based game therapy on activation of scapular muscles in children with thoracic hyperkyphosis

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Game‐based rehabilitation has been shown to support motor control and muscle activation in children; therefore, video‐based gaming may represent a promising rehabilitation approach for targeting scapular muscles. Objective To examine the effects of video‐based game therapy on scapular muscle activation, strength, and upper extremity

Lagrangian analysis of two flavours of Central European heatwaves: Formation under omega blocking versus initiation by subtropical ridges

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We investigate whether Central European heatwaves (HWs) forming under omega blocking differ from those enabled by subtropical ridges, in terms of both air‐mass origin and processes warming air parcels along their way. Using ERA5‐based backward trajectories and a Lagrangian temperature anomaly decomposition, we identify significant differences in the ...

Scaling turbulence drives the general circulation

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The NOAA Gulfstream SP4, which deployed the GPS dropsondes over the NE Pacific Ocean as part of the Winter Storms Project during the January–March periods of 2004, 2005 and 2006. Abstract Statistical multifractal analysis of airborne and dropsonde observations is used to show that persistence of velocity after molecular collisions breaks the continuous

Piezoelectric Insole

International Journal of Recent Development in Engineering and Technology, 2021
Envisaged research planned so as to turn the kinetic energy generated by walking into power, which is then deposited in a compact battery pack, into a shoe insole. Health has been on the edge because of our hectic and torpid lives. Here we address a system utilizing piezoelectric material that furnishes mobile devices as an alternate means of powering ...

Renewable Resource Curse Hypothesis: Could Renewable Resources Foster Sustainable Development?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores whether the resource curse hypothesis applies to renewable energy by introducing a novel metric of renewable resource rent. Using a panel dataset of 46 countries (2010–2022), we define renewable rent as the product of electricity generation and the gap between industrial electricity price and levelized cost (LCOE).

Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.

Landscape distribution and habitat use of sika deer using indirect signs of deer activity: a simple tool for forest managers

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The populations of many deer species across Europe are widely reported to be increasing, leading to potentially greater impacts on forest ecosystems. Our understanding of factors driving the regional distribution (e.g. 1 km2 resolution) of deer populations is, however, often limited by a lack of knowledge of where deer are within the landscape.
