Article Synopsis
- A hip flexion contracture (HFC) limits hip extension and affects the gait of patients, particularly those with above-knee amputations, but its specific effects on their walking patterns are not well-studied.
- The study aimed to explore how HFC influences gait characteristics and whether the angle of the prosthetic socket has a relation to these gait changes during walking.
- Conducted with 32 participants who had above-knee amputations, the research found demographic similarities between groups with and without HFC, and analyzed various gait metrics to determine the impact of HFC and socket design on walking performance.
Article Synopsis
- - The paper investigates ocular circulation issues and electrical activity changes in a patient with CADASIL, characterized by various neuro-ophthalmic symptoms like transient vision loss, migraines, and diplopia.
- - CADASIL diagnosis was confirmed through genetic testing for a mutation, immunohistochemistry showing specific material in blood vessels, and MRI revealing brain lesions and infarcts.
- - Findings like decreased blood flow in retinal arteries and retinal changes suggest that transient vision loss may result from altered blood dynamics and vessel narrowing in the eye, supported by observed changes in electroretinogram amplitudes and imaging results.
Quadrupeds and hexapods are known by their ability to adapt their locomotive patterns to their functions in the environment. Computational modeling of animal movement can help to better understand the emergence of locomotive patterns and their body dynamics. Although considerable progress has been made in this subject in recent years, the strengths and limitations of kinematic simulations at the scale of small moving animals are not well understood.
