Physical activity and joint health: Implications for knee osteoarthritis disease pathophysiology and mechanics

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knee osteoarthritis is experienced by hundreds of millions of people worldwide and is a major cause of disability. Although enhancing physical activity levels and the participation in exercise programmes has been proved to improve the debilitating illness of osteoarthritis, many do not engage in recommended levels of physical activity.

Biallelic Nonsense Variants in NEFL May Cause a Non‐Length‐Dependent Neuropathy With Temporal Dispersion on Nerve Conduction Studies

Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System, Volume 31, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Pathogenic variants in NEFL, the gene that encodes the light polypeptide subunit of neurofilaments, are an uncommon cause of autosomal recessive Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth (CMT) disease. In this study, we describe the clinical and electrophysiological features of two families with early‐onset CMT carrying nonsense variants in the ...

Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae)

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 1026-1063, June 2026.
A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...

Scaling of internal joint distance in the elbow of small‐ to medium‐sized mammals: Implications for range of motion analyses

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 950-971, June 2026.
We investigated the internal joint distances (IJDs) of the humero‐ulnar and humero‐radial joint, within a sample of 15 small‐ to medium‐sized mammals and report isometric results. We also found that joint poses had no effect on IJDs and that IJDs scale isometrically within small species.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Alters Neuromuscular Control and Kinetics during Stair Ambulation

, 2011
The aim of the study was to investigate differences in frontal plane knee kinetics, onset timing and dura-tion of the gluteus medius (GMed), adductor longus (AL), and vastus medialis oblique (VMO) during stair ambulation between those with and without ...

Quantitative Muscle Magnetic Resonance Imaging Demonstrates Resolution of Muscle Edema in Refractory Dermatomyositis: A Post Hoc Analysis of a Proof‐of‐Concept Clinical Trial of Tofacitinib

ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Objective To evaluate changes in muscle edema using short‐tau inversion recovery (STIR) imaging and quantitative diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping in patients with refractory dermatomyositis (DM) treated with tofacitinib. Methods This post hoc imaging analysis included patients from a 12‐week, open‐label

Comparative Effectiveness of Combined Orthotic and Physiotherapy Interventions Versus Monotherapy in the Management of Knee Osteoarthritis on Clinical Parameters: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease affecting 22.9% of individuals over 40 years of age, causing pain and functional impairment. Orthotic devices and physiotherapy are standard treatments, but their combined effectiveness compared with that of monotherapy is unclear.

Which Exercise Protocol Is Optimal for Improving Lower Crossed Syndrome in Athletes? Core Stability or NASM

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Lower crossed syndrome (LCS) is a common postural dysfunction among individuals with sedentary lifestyles; however, it can also affect athletes due to sport‐specific demands. This study aimed to investigate and compare the effects of core stability exercises (CSE) and National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) exercises on ...
