Vibration perception among children and adolescents with Charcot-Marie-tooth disease and implications for foot posture.
Clin Biomech (Bristol)
December 2023
Background: Alterations in vibration perception among children and adolescents with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease might explain observed changes in foot posture. Therefore, this cross-sectional study compared the vibration perception of the lower limbs in youths with and without Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and verified the cut-off value of the distal vibration perception for the Charcot-Marie-Tooth group. In addition, associations between dynamic plantar pressure, vibration perception and isometric muscle strength were investigated.

Although PF is the third most-common injury in runners, only two studies have investigated this factor in runners, and their results are still inconclusive regarding the injury stage.
Objective: Analyze and compare the plantar loads and vertical loading rate during running of runners in the acute stage of PF to those in the chronic stage of the injury in relation to healthy runners.
Article Synopsis
- The literature review assesses various studies on how pregnancy affects lower limb biomechanics and walking patterns.
- Pregnant women tend to show increased hip flexion, extended knees, and less active ankle plantar flexion, which alters their gait.
- The study emphasizes the need for more long-term research to explore how these biomechanical changes contribute to musculoskeletal discomfort in pregnant women.
Background: The intention of this investigation was to longitudinally describe and compare the plantar pressure distribution in orthostatic posture and gait throughout pregnancy.
Methods: A prospective longitudinal observational study was conducted with six pregnant women (mean ± SD age, 32 ± 3 years) with a mean ± SD weight gain of 10.0 ± 1.
Background: The medial longitudinal arch modifies significantly during growth. Nevertheless, authors differ on the age at which the foot acquires the adult-like shape. The best method to assess this arch in children is also controversial.
