Two‐year ultrasound follow‐up of patellar tendon, Achilles tendon and plantar fascia in collegiate athletes: Persistence of sonographic abnormalities and symptom development

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To prospectively evaluate sonographic changes of the Achilles tendon, patellar tendon, and plantar fascia in a cohort of collegiate athletes over multiple seasons. Methods Longitudinal sonographic assessment was conducted in a cohort of National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I collegiate athletes.

Two Novel ACTC1 Variants Cause Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
We report on two individuals with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita who were heterozygous for ACTC1 missense variants (NM_005159.5; c.325G>A, p.Glu109Lys and c.650A>C, p.Lys217Thr) and provide a characterization of these variants through in vitro studies.

Stretching and relaxing the plantar fascia may change plantar fascia thickness but not pressure pain thresholds: a cross-sectional study of patients with plantar fasciopathy

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background Despite the established relevance of ultrasonography and assessment of pressure pain thresholds in patients with plantar fasciopathy, patient and probe positioning has been mostly ignored and are not necessarily reported in research.

Cumulative effects of lifelong systemic excess growth hormone on postcranial skeletal morphology in adult mice

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our μCT‐based pilot study reveals size and shape disparity in the adult postcranial skeleton of growth‐hormone model (bGH) mice relative to wild‐type mice. bGH mice have larger and more sexually dimorphic bones, with a systemic radiodensity increase in bony sesamoids and associated, but typically uncalcified, soft tissues.

The effects of a custom foot orthosis on dynamic plantar pressure in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis: A randomized controlled trial

, 2023
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. The plantar fascia supports the longitudinal arch and absorbs ground reaction forces during the static and dynamic phase(s) of weight-bearing.
