Achilles' tendon (AT) injuries such as ruptures and tendinopathies have experienced a
dramatic rise in the mid-to older-aged population. Given that the AT plays a key role at all …

Voluntary toe walking in adults is characterized by feedforward control of ankle muscles in
order to ensure optimal stability of the ankle joint at ground impact. Toe walking is frequently …

Stretch hyperreflexia is often a target for treatment to improve gait in children with spastic
cerebral palsy (CP). However, the presence of stretch hyperreflexia during gait remains …

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) was characterized by pain and limited joint function, which
seriously affected the quality of life of patients. The vast majority of KOA was closely related …

Background Most cases of toe walking in children are idiopathic. We used pathology-
specific neuromusculoskeletal predictive simulations to identify potential underlying neural …

Spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) affects neural control, deteriorates muscle morphometrics, and
may progressively impair functional walking ability. Upon passive testing, gastrocnemius …

This pilot study sought to determine the feasibility of quantifying sensory processing,
postural control, motor skill development and participation in daily life in children with …

Toe walking is observed in pathological populations including cerebral palsy, stroke, and
autism spectrum disorder. To understand pathological toe walking, previous studies have …

Sensory feedback through spinal interneurons contributes to plantar flexor muscle activity
during walking, but it is unknown whether this is also the case during nonlocomotor …

Musculoskeletal injuries, which encompass all chronic or acute damages done to bones,
muscles, and soft tissues, are an important economical and societal burden. The complex …
