Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Cerebral palsy (CP) frequently compromises postural control and balance in children. Ankle–foot orthoses (AFOs) are routinely prescribed to improve stability, yet the influence of specific design parameters—stiffness, alignment, and individualized tuning—on balance outcomes remains inadequately characterized.

A Novel Surgical Approach to Induce an Ankle Joint Contracture in Rats
Journal of Orthopaedic Research, Volume 44, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Our primary aim was to establish a novel surgical immobilization approach to induce a persistent ankle plantar‐flexion contracture in the Wistar rat. A stainless steel suture was placed in experimental animals (n = 14) and pulled taut between the calcaneal bone and the knee joint, restricting dorsal‐flexion while still allowing for limited ...

Graph‐Theoretical Approach for Predicting Physicochemical Properties of Stiff‐Person Syndrome Drugs
ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.Graph‐theoretical descriptors derived from M‐polynomials are integrated with quantitative structure–property relationship modeling and machine learning to uncover structure–property relationships of drugs used in stiff‐person syndrome. Strong correlations between degree‐based topological indices and key physicochemical properties are revealed ...

Paediatric and Neonatal Pain, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Progressive hip displacement is a common problem in children with neurodevelopmental conditions, often leading to painful dislocation and impaired function. Hip reconstruction may be necessary to maintain containment but these reconstructions are major surgery in this vulnerable population.

What Is the StartReact Effect?
Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT The use of a startling acoustic stimulus during a simple reaction time task results in the rapid initiation of a prepared response at extremely short latencies (< 80 ms). This so‐called “StartReact effect” has been increasingly employed to probe subcortical contributions to response preparation, as it is thought to occur due to increased ...
