Risk of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Female Soccer Players With Increased Lateral Plantar Loading and Reduced Medial Metatarsal Loading During Running: A Prospective Study [PDF]

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common among female soccer players and often result in long-term absence from sport. Despite extensive studies on ACL injury mechanisms, no prospective studies have investigated the distribution ...

Potential predictive effect of mechanical properties of the plantar skin and superficial soft tissue, and vibration perception on plantar loading during gait in individuals with diabetes [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Background This exploratory study aimed to investigate the extent to which mechanical properties of the plantar skin and superficial soft tissue (hardness, stiffness, and thickness) and vibration perception thresholds (VPTs) predict plantar pressure ...

Plantar-pressure-guided support-plate position control for a walker-assisted lower-limb rehabilitation exoskeleton [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
IntroductionMaintaining appropriate foot-ground contact is important for walker-assisted lower-limb exoskeleton training. Excessive plantar loading may increase initial-contact impact and actuator load, whereas excessive unloading may reduce frictional ...

Rat Plantar Fascia Stem/Progenitor Cells Showed Lower Expression of Ligament Markers and Higher Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines after Intensive Mechanical Loading or Interleukin-1β Treatment In Vitro

Cells, 2023
The pathogenesis of plantar fasciitis is unclear, which hampers the development of an effective treatment. The altered fate of plantar fascia stem/progenitor cells (PFSCs) under overuse-induced inflammation might contribute to the pathogenesis.

Impact of foot progression angle on spatiotemporal and plantar loading pattern in intoeing children during gait [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Intoeing in children is a common parental concern, but our understanding of the impact of foot progression angle (FPA) in these children leaves remains limited. This study examines the relationship between FPA and plantar loading pattern, as well as gait
