Dynamic postural stability changes of the subjects with toe-in gait due to increase in femoral head anteversion angle during walking [PDF]

Advances in Medicine, Psychology, and Public Health
Background: Toe-in gait may be caused by an increase in femoral head anteversion angle. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of toe-in gait on stability during walking.

Phalangeal joints kinematics in ostrich (Struthio camelus) locomotion on sand. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
In ostriches, the toes are the only body parts that contact loose sand surfaces. Thus, toe interphalangeal joint motions may play vital biomechanical roles.

Design of 3D printable prosthetic foot to implement nonlinear stiffness behavior of human toe joint based on finite element analysis

Scientific Reports, 2021
Toe joint is known as one of the critical factors in designing a prosthetic foot due to its nonlinear stiffness characteristic. This stiffness characteristic provides a general feeling of springiness in the toe-off and it also affects the ankle kinetics.

Differences in toe flexor strength and foot morphology between wheelchair dependent and ambulant older people in long‐term care: a cross‐sectional study

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2021
Background Hallux valgus, lesser toe deformity, and muscle weakness of the toe flexors contribute to falls in older people. This study aimed to examine the differences in toe flexor strength and foot morphology in older people requiring long‐term care ...

Walking on Toes

Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma Care, 2022
The results of scientists from the University of Milan allowed us to take a fresh look at the basics of the physiology of the brain and nervous system. They found that neurological health largely depends on nerve impulses from the muscles of the legs to the brain.

Exploring health professionals understanding of evidence based treatment for idiopathic toe walking.

Child: Care, Health and Development, 2020
INTRODUCTION Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) is an exclusionary diagnosis resulting in a child walking on the balls of their feet. Preferred treatment options may be due to the severity of the toe or the health professional preference There are limited ...

Compensatory advantages of toe walking [PDF]

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2000
The study's hypothesis is that toe walking requires less peak muscle strength distally about the ankle and knee compared with normal heel-toe walking and thus may have compensatory advantages for patients with upper motor neuron injury and distal muscle weakness.Motion analysis and force platform data were collected in able-bodied subjects during toe ...

Anomalous Pressure‐Temperature Ultrahigh Sensitivities in Atomically Engineered Carbonitride MXenes for Multifunctional Wearable Human–Machine Interfaces: Joint Computational–Experimental Elucidations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Atomically engineered layered 2D Ti3CNTz carbonitride MXene exhibits ultrahigh heat and pressure sensitivity, enabling dual‐mode sensors with 300%–400% performance enhancement and durability for real‐time health‐monitoring interface devices. Precise nitrogen incorporation (e.g., Ti3C1.8N0.2Tz) boosts conductivity, enhancing temperature response, while ...
