Article Synopsis
  • Chronic ankle instability (CAI) patients with higher levels of chronic pain demonstrate altered energy dissipation and generation patterns in the ankle during jump landing and cutting tasks compared to those with lower pain and healthy individuals.
  • The study involved 15 CAI patients with higher pain, 15 with lower pain, and 15 healthy controls, all assessed for ground reaction forces and joint power during physical activity.
  • Results indicated that higher pain levels are linked to reduced ankle energy use, while hip energy generation was increased, suggesting compensatory strategies in CAI patients with chronic pain.

Background: Although individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are at high risk for posttraumatic osteoarthritis, mechanisms underlying the relationship between running and knee cartilage health remain unclear.

Objective: We aimed to investigate how 30 min of running influences femoral cartilage thickness and composition and their relationships with running biomechanics in patients with ACLR and controls.

Methods: Twenty patients with ACLR (time post-ACLR: 14.

Patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) consistently display postural control alterations, which may result from sensorimotor dysfunction. This study aimed to compare muscle activity in the lower extremity and postural control among individuals with CAI, copers and uninjured controls during a static balance test. A total of 57 physically active participants were categorized into three groups (CAI, copers and controls) and performed a single-leg balance test with two visual conditions: eyes open and eyes closed.

Background: Patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) often experience injury-related fear following ankle injuries, a condition known as kinesiophobia. Little research has investigated the impact of kinesiophobia in patients with CAI.

Research Question: How does kinesiophobia impact the static and dynamic balance of individuals with CAI?

Methods: Fifty patients with CAI were divided into 2 subgroups based on their responses to the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia: 25 with kinesiophobia (CAI-K) and 25 without kinesiophobia (CAI-N).

Background: Postural control measured during single-leg stance and single-leg hop stabilization has been used to estimate sensorimotor function in CAI individuals and copers. To date, studies have not used postural control tasks as a way of measuring responses to sudden changes in sensory information after simulated ankle inversion landings.

Research Question: A cross-sectional study was performed to identify any differences in static and dynamic postural control before and after simulated ankle inversion landings among individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI), copers, and healthy controls.

It remains unclear how unexpected perturbations during single-leg landings affect lower extremity kinematics and muscle activations in patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI). The purpose of this study was to identify the differences in lower extremity movement patterns among CAI subjects, copers, and healthy controls. Sixty-six people including 22 CAI subjects, 22 copers, and 22 healthy controls volunteered to participate in the study.

Context: Participants with chronic ankle instability (CAI) frequently display altered movement patterns during functional movements. However, it remains unclear how these altered joint kinematics during jump landing negatively affect ankle joint health in the CAI population. Calculating joint energetics may offer an important method to estimate the magnitude of lower extremity joint loading during functional movements in participants with CAI.

Geometrically multifunctional structures inspired by nature can address the challenges in the development of soft robotics. A bioinspired structure based on origami and kirigami can significantly enhance the stretchability and reliability of soft robots. This study proposes a novel structure with individual, overlapping units, similar to snake scales that can be used to construct shape-morphing batteries for untethered soft robots.

Here, we studied the effect of thermal annealing on the microstructure and cyclic stability of a (Ti, Fe)-alloyed Si thin-film fabricated by a simple sputtering deposition method for Li-ion battery (LIB) anodes. The anode samples annealed at different temperatures (300-600 °C) were subjected to microstructure analysis and LIB performance test. The (Ti, Fe)-alloyed Si thin-film anode delivered a high capacity of 1563 mA h g for 100 cycles at 0.
