Background: Veering occurs during blind walking, which causes individuals to deviate from crosswalks or fall off platforms. Despite being linked to static postural control, the relationship between veering and gait function (gait variability and plantar pressure), which is presumed to be related to dynamic postural control, has yet to be fully understood.
Research Question: How do gait variability and plantar pressure affect veering?
Methods: This experiment involved a walking task in which 11 blind adults were instructed to walk along a straight path using a white cane.
Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the importance of finding new catalytic applications for metals in organic synthesis, particularly for enhancing efficiency in multi-step chemical reactions.
- Cu-catalyzed synthesis of imidazolidine is demonstrated through a reaction between aziridine and diazetidine, showcasing a novel catalytic method.
- The reaction allows for a diverse range of imidazolidines to be produced, indicating that different functional groups can be used without affecting the reaction's effectiveness.
