Biomechanics and Evolution of the Primate Tongue

open access: yesEvolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Primate tongue morphology and function are critical to understanding the evolution of feeding, swallowing, and vocalization. In this paper, we examine the primate tongue as a muscular hydrostat with regionally specialized neuromuscular compartments. We integrate anatomical, kinematic, and biomechanical modeling approaches to analyze how muscle

Clinical Outcomes of Custom Foot Orthoses in Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) is a painful and function‐limiting condition most commonly affecting middle‐aged and older adults. Although custom foot orthoses (CFOs) are routinely prescribed as a conservative intervention, evidence from large clinical cohorts remains limited.

Plantar Heel Pain Is Not Associated With Fatty Infiltration of the Abductor Digiti Minimi Muscle on Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Cross‐Sectional Observational Study

open access: yesJournal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Fatty infiltration, or fatty atrophy, of the abductor digiti minimi (ADM) muscle of the foot is proposed to be associated with entrapment of the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve (i.e., Baxter's neuropathy) as part of plantar heel pain (PHP). However, this association has not been rigorously investigated.

The Effect of Limited Ankle Dorsiflexion During Emergency Stop—Jump Movements on Lower Limb Biomechanics

open access: yesJournal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective The stop‐jump task is a key movement in sports such as basketball and volleyball, with landing biomechanics closely linked to injury risk. Restricted ankle dorsiflexion (DF) alters lower‐extremity mechanics and increases the risk of lower‐limb joint injuries; however, its effects on the full stop‐jump cycle remain unclear. This study

Application of Statistical Shape Models to Standard Lumbar MRI for Stenosis Treatment Stratification: Severe Versus Normal Stenosis

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Statistical shape models (SSMs) derived from standard 2D lumbar MRIs capture coordinated morphological features that distinguish severe from normal spinal stenosis. Both intervertebral disc and combined models provide strong discriminatory power, comparable to or exceeding traditional anatomical measurements.
