Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) incidence has increased among badminton players in recent
years. The foot internal stress was hard to obtain through experimental testing. The purpose …

Objectives: Achilles tendon rupture leads to functional impairments and these may be
underpinned by morphological changes in the muscle-tendon unit. The functional …

Featured Application Knee osteoarthritis (OA) can be prevented using orthoses with
actuators controlled using real-time biofeedback from wearable motion-sensors and multi …

Background Presently, the current research concerning Achilles tendon rupture repair (ATR)
is predominantly centered on the ankle joint, with a paucity of evidence regarding its impact …

The purpose of this study was to compare the inter-limb joint kinematics, joint moments,
muscle forces, and joint reaction forces in patients after an Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) via …

Far too little attention has been paid to health effects of air pollution and physical (in) activity
on musculoskeletal health. The purpose of the Healthy aging in industrial environment study …

Although some studies indicate physical activity and sleep quality are positively associated
in children, most reports examined physical activity independent of other 24-h behaviors and …

Background: Regular walking in different types of footwear may increase the mediolateral
shear force, knee adduction moment, or vertical ground-reaction forces that could increase …

Background Minimalistic footwear provides adequate toe space, tripod function, improving
foot function, muscle activation and stability during walking similarly to barefoot walking. Due …

Background. It is not known if foot structure may change after an Achilles tendon rupture and
if a possible change may have an impact on lower limb function. The primary aim of the …
