Exploring health professionals understanding of evidence based treatment for idiopathic toe walking: a cross-sectional study.

, 2019
Background Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) is an exclusionary diagnosis and varies in severity, from those children with full range of ankle motion, to those with associated ankle equinus.

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

The pelvis doesn't walk by itself: Wider pelves reduce the cost of walking over unstable surfaces

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Walking over variable and/or unstable terrain is a key aspect of daily life and was crucial to the evolution of bipedalism. The ability to find gait solutions that maintained stability over uneven terrain for the least increase in metabolic cost was likely a hallmark of locomotor effectiveness in early humans, in particular acting as an ...

Arthroscopic Assisted Turf Toe Reconstruction With Knotless Suture Anchors and Suture Tape Augmentation

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Turf toe is a hallux metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) injury seen in sports like football and soccer where the foot experiences axial load while fixed to the ground with the great toe hyperextended at the MTPJ. Depending on severity, turf toe can be quite devastating in athletes and can require operative intervention.

Gait Training with Real-Time Augmented Toe-Ground Clearance Information Decreases Tripping Risk in Older Adults and a Person with Chronic Stroke

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Falls risk increases with ageing but is substantially higher in people with stroke. Tripping-related balance loss is the primary cause of falls, and Minimum Toe Clearance (MTC) during walking is closely linked to tripping risk.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Effects of various static calibration postures on knee mechanics during locomotor tasks using statistical parametric mapping analysis

Scientific Reports
This study aims to examine the effects of various static standing postures on knee biomechanics during dynamic activities, including walking, running, and jumping. Twenty healthy participants (10 males and 10 females; age: 24.7 ± 1.3 years; height: 1.73 ±

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult
