Clinical Practice Guideline for Evaluation and Management of Peripheral Nervous System Manifestations in Sjögren's Disease

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Sjögren's disease is an autoimmune disorder that can impact multiple organ systems, including the peripheral nervous system (PNS). PNS manifestations, which can exist concurrently, include mononeuropathies, polyneuropathies, and autonomic nervous system neuropathies.

Effect of Arm Pivot Joints on Stiffness Discrimination in Haptic Environments

Multimodal Technologies and Interaction, 2022
We investigated the effect of arm pivot joints that are typically used during haptic exploration by evaluating four joints of the human arm (metacarpophalangeal joint of the index finger, wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints).

Association Between Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis and Target Glycemic Control in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Knee osteoarthritis (OA) commonly affects individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and is associated with increased risk of diabetes‐related complications. To better understand potential mechanisms, we examined the association between symptomatic knee OA and glycemic control in individuals with T2DM.

Sensitivity of lower-limb joint mechanics to prosthetic forefoot stiffness with a variable stiffness foot in level-ground walking.

Journal of Biomechanics, 2023
This paper presents the effectsof the Variable Stiffness Foot (VSF) on lower-limb joint mechanics in level-ground walking. Persons with transtibial amputations use lower-limb prostheses to restore level-ground walking, and foot stiffness and geometry ...

Does Long‐Term Lower Extremity Strength Training in Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis and Varus Alignment Reduce Knee Joint Loading During Gait?

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...
