Physical and Mechanical Therapies for Lower Limb Problems in Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Systematic Review With Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Objective To systematically review the evidence for physical (for e.g. strengthening) and mechanical (for e.g. foot orthoses) therapies for lower limb problems in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods Randomised clinical trials of physical and mechanical interventions for lower limb problems in children with JIA were ...

Single‐Bundle Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using Adjustable‐Length Loop Cortical Button Patella Fixation and Interference Screw Femoral Fixation

Arthroscopy Techniques, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Many techniques have been described for the reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) in patients with acute or recurrent instability. Most commonly, an MPFL hamstring tendon auto‐ or allograft is used, attached to the patella and medial femoral condyle using bone tunnels and various fixation implants to ensure stable ...

Reflex response times of vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis in normal subjects and in subjects with patellofemoral pain syndrome

, 1996
Various authors have indicated that imbalance of the vastus medialis/vastus lateralis muscles might lead to patellofemoral pain syndrome. However, few reports have been published to substantiate such a hypothesis. The purpose of this study was to attempt

Proprioceptive Control of Muscle Activation in Aging: Implications for Balance and Fall Risk

Biology
(1) Background: This study aimed to assess whether older adults exhibit greater discrepancies between intended and actual motor unit recruitment, which could affect the quality of muscle activation and potentially increase the risk of falls. (2) Methods:
