Compliant Footpads Enable Terrain‐Adaptive Hopping in a Monopedal Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A lightweight compliant footpad with embedded spines lets a monopedal hopping robot keep stable ground contact. It preserves stance‐phase dynamics and enables reliable hopping on rock, sand, and ice. Monopedal hopping robots offer exceptional mobility over discontinuous terrain but require consistent foot‐ground contact to maintain stance‐phase ...

An Active Knee–Ankle–Foot Orthosis With Torque‐Dense, Low‐Impedance Knee Actuation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents the simulation, design, and clinical validation of a robotic active KAFO with torque‐sensitive actuation. By passively and continuously adapting the transmission ratio in response to the knee torque, the torque‐sensitive actuator overcomes the tradeoff between torque, weight, and impedance observed in conventional robot actuators,

A Simple and Affordable Footwear‐Integrated Near‐Miss Slip Sensor for Detecting Latent Slip Risk During Gait

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A simple, affordable near‐miss slip sensor mounted on the shoe sole detects floor slipperiness during walking on oily and normal floors. Its two‐stage structure houses two single‐axis force sensors, and their peak‐output ratio—the central pressure response normalized by the load‐reference signal—classifies the two floor types (p < 0.01).

Transient dystonic toe‐walking: differentiation from cerebral palsy and a rare explanation for some unexplained cases of idiopathic toe‐walking

, 2006
We report on seven children (five males, two females) who presented with marked, often asymmetrical, toe-walking from onset of independent walking, associated with abnormal foot postures and increased tone at the ankles with characteristics of dystonia ...

Managing Toe Walking, a Treatment Side Effect, in a Child With T-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma: A Case Report

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019
Background and Purpose: Children who have survived cancer are at risk of experiencing adverse effects of the cancer or its treatments. One of the adverse effects may be the limitation of ankle dorsiflexion (DF), which may result in “toe walking ...

Severe Phenotype in an Indian Family With Progressive Pseudorheumatoid Arthropathy of Childhood

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Progressive pseudorheumatoid arthropathy of childhood (PPAC) is a rare autosomal recessive progressive condition that affects the cartilage of joints and bones. The symptoms of PPAC include stiffness of the joints, bony swelling of the toes and fingers, short stature, kyphosis, and muscle weakness.

Heterozygous Variants in LRP1 Cause a Neurodevelopmental Disorder With Congenital Heart Defects

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT LRP1 encodes the low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor‐related protein 1 (LRP1), a transmembrane protein involved in endocytosis and activation of multiple signaling pathways. LRP1 variants have been implicated in the pathogenesis of congenital heart defects (CHD), Alzheimer's disease, and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD).

A Novel Splice Variant in ERGIC1 Causes Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita—Characterization Using Urine‐Derived Cells

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is defined as the presence of joint contractures affecting at least two body regions at birth. Three different ERGIC1 variants have been reported in individuals with AMC. Here, we report on a 16‐year‐old male with a homozygous ERGIC1 c.250+1G>A variant that was classified as a variant of uncertain ...
