Article Synopsis
- - Hedonic well-being measures how people feel about their lives; individuals with disabilities often face more anxiety and depression than those without disabilities, but sports participation can help them cope.
- - A study surveyed para-athletes and non-athlete disabled individuals to compare their self-perceived well-being using the Psychological General Well-Being Index, involving 1,208 participants.
- - Results indicated that para-athletes reported higher well-being across all areas than non-athlete disabled individuals, with specific sports revealing varying levels of well-being based on the nature of the disability.
Purpose: This historical review aims to highlight the important roles of the talus in antiquity and to summarise the multiple attempts of managing talar fractures throughout history.
Method: Archaeological, religious, artistic, literary, historical and scientific accounts were searched for the descriptions of talus fractures in different eras and their treatments to provide a thorough analysis of the evolution of trauma care up to the present.
Results: This review shows how the talus has always had an important role in several societies: it was used as a die or considered to have a divinatory function in Mesopotamian civilisations, among Greeks and Romans, in Mongolia and in pre-Columbian Americas.
