Moisture‐Adaptive Triboelectric Materials and Platforms: Design Strategies, Performance Enhancement, and Applications in Energy Harvesting and Wearable Electronics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review summarizes moisture‐adaptive strategies that enable triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) to operate across diverse moisture conditions. It examines moisture‐management methods, including exclusion, directional transport, removal, and utilization, with charge‐regulation approaches based on interfacial, dielectric, and structural engineering.

Immediate effects of the retrocapital pad and toe bar in sensorimotor foot orthoses on the electromyographic activity of the gastrocnemius muscle in healthy adults

Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences
BackgroundSensorimotor foot orthoses (SMFOs) regulate muscle tone. Within this growing body of evidence, the impact of two SMFO elements, the retrocapital pad and toe bar, on the plantar flexors has not yet been investigated.

Strategy of Triple‐Gradient in Binary Pixels for Flexible Pressure Sensing with High Sensitivity and Wide‐Range Linearity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A flexible pressure sensor with triple‐gradient design of conductivity, modulus, and dimension in binary micro‐dome pixels is proposed. Based on precisely‐designed CNT/PDMS matrix, the device exhibits a linear sensitivity of 974.1 kPa−1 across range up to 1.8 MPa (R2 > 0.99), offering an effective strategy for potential applications in healthcare ...

Cushioned Insoles for First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Osteoarthritis: Protocol for the SOLE Randomised Controlled Trial. [PDF]

J Foot Ankle Res
ABSTRACT Introduction First metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and disabling condition that causes substantial pain and impairs quality of life. Cushioned insoles have the potential to lower plantar pressures beneath the hallux and possibly reduce pain, but their clinical effectiveness has not been investigated.

Lateral Wedge Insoles With and Without Contoured Arch Support for People With Knee Osteoarthritis and Foot Pain: A Pilot, Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial. [PDF]

J Foot Ankle Res
ABSTRACT Background Lateral wedge insoles (LWIs) are a non‐surgical adjunct treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA) that has been shown to reduce the knee adduction moment—a biomechanical risk factor for knee OA disease progression. Though worn in one's shoes, little is known of the effects of LWIs use on the foot or ankle.
