Three-dimensional printing technique aids screw insertion into the sustentaculum tali of the internal fixation of intra-articular calcaneal fractures.

Introduction: Treating complex calcaneus fractures remains challenging. This study evaluated the influence of 3D printing and simulation on precision screw insertion into the calcaneus sustentaculum tali (ST).

Hypothesis: 3D printing and simulation improve the treatment for calcaneal fracture.

Effects of home-based telerehabilitation on dynamic alterations in regional intrinsic neural activity and degree centrality in stroke patients.

Objective: To explore the effects of home-based telerehabilitation (TR) on dynamic alterations in regional intrinsic neural activity and degree centrality in stroke patients by resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) methods.

Methods: The neuroimaging data of 52 stroke patients were analyzed. Dynamic regional spontaneous neural activity (dynamic amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations, dALFF; and dynamic regional homogeneity, dReHo) and dynamic degree centrality (dDC) were compared between the TR and conventional rehabilitation (CR) groups.

Effects of home-based telerehabilitation in patients with stroke: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To determine the effects of a 12-week home-based motor training telerehabilitation program in patients with subcortical stroke by combining motor function assessments and multimodality MRI analysis methods.

Methods: Fifty-two patients with stroke and hemiplegia were randomly assigned to either a home-based motor training telerehabilitation (TR) group or a conventional rehabilitation (CR) group for 12 weeks. The Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) for upper and lower extremities and the modified Barthel Index were used as primary outcomes.
