Efficacy of Vitamin C Treatment to Aid the Healing of Foot Ulcers in People With Diabetes: A Randomised, Placebo‐Controlled Double‐Blind Trial: The FOOT‐C Study Protocol

open access: yesJournal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Diabetes‐related foot ulceration (DFU) is a serious complication, serving as a leading cause of amputation, disability, hospitalisation and a significant contributor to healthcare costs. Deficiencies in vitamin C and other micronutrients are common in DFU.

Effectiveness of Whole‐Body Vibration Therapy on Handgrip Strength: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

open access: yesMusculoskeletal Care, Volume 24, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Although whole‐body vibration (WBV) therapy has already demonstrated efficacy in improving lower‐limb muscle strength, it is still unclear whether it has similar potential for improving handgrip strength. Objective To verify the efficacy of WBV on handgrip strength. Methods The search was conducted on September 5, 2025, in PubMed,

Multi‐Omics Profiling Reveals Immunomodulatory and Pro‐Regenerative Effects of a Graphene Oxide–Collagen Scaffold in Massive Rotator Cuff Tears

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
A graphene oxide/collagen scaffold is developed for chronic massive rotator cuff tear repair. The scaffold improves compressive stability, supports reparative mesenchymal differentiation, and modulates the immune microenvironment. In chronic MRCT models, it reduces muscle degeneration, enhances tendon–bone regeneration, and improves functional recovery,

The Reliability and Validity of Manual Palpation to Assess Lower Limb Arterial Occlusion Pressure in Older Adults, for Application in Blood Flow Restriction Exercise

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT (A) Investigate test‐retest reliability of posterior tibial pulse palpation to determine arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) and examine validity against hand‐held Doppler ultrasound. (B) Investigate the suitability of using 130% systolic brachial blood pressure for prescribing cuff inflation pressure for blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise ...

High prevalence of muscle stability deficits in semi‐professional football players—Adaptive Force assessment reveals selective impairment of holding capacity with preserved maximal strength: A cross‐sectional study

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 8, Page 2987-3001, August 2026.
Abstract Purpose Despite considerable research, strength screening has shown limited value for injury prediction. The concept of muscle stability assessed by Adaptive Force (AF) offers a distinct perspective—addressing neuromuscular holding capacity closer to injury‐prone motions rather than pushing strength.
