Assessment of Five-Foot Plantar Morphological Pressure Points of Children with Cerebral Palsy Using or Not Dynamic Ankle Foot Orthosis

Children, 2023
People with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) often experience a decline in gait function and flexion. The children’s posture and hip strategy, which leads to knee flexion, predisposes these children to increased contact area in the medial foot region.

Inter-Rater Reliability of Novice Linkers Using an Innovative Sequential Iterative Linking Method to Link Prosthetic Outcomes to The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health

Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2023
Objective: When linking outcomes to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), inter-rater reliability is typically assessed at the conclusion of the linking process. This method does not allow for iterative evaluation

Experimental Evaluation of 100Cr6 Steel Microindented Surfaces Under Lubricated Nonconformal Point Contacts

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The tribological behavior of 100Cr6 steel spheres textured via Vickers microindentation is evaluated under lubricated sliding by varying both dimple size and density. Fine and dense textures significantly reduce friction across all lubrication regimes, while large dimples increase it.
