Article Synopsis
  • * In situ aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and molecular dynamics simulations were used to study AuCoCuNiPt nanoparticles' thermal behavior from 298 to 973 K.
  • * The study revealed strong structural changes and phase separation in the nanoparticles at high temperatures, highlighting active atomic diffusion and providing insights into the kinetic and thermodynamic effects that can guide future nanomaterial synthesis.

Purpose: In this study, we investigated whether experimental knee pain alters lower limb kinematics and knee arthrokinematics during gait, and if this motor adaptation depends on the spatial characteristics of the painful stimulus.

Methods: Twenty-one participants walked on a treadmill for 60-s trials, either without stimulation or while experiencing painful electrical stimulation in the medial, lateral or anterior region of the knee. Perceived pain location was analyzed using pain drawing.

Background And Purpose: Action Observation Therapy (AOT) has been proposed to improve gait, balance and mobility in subjects with neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. The current review aimed to investigate AOT effects in subjects with gait, balance and mobility impairments.

Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and Scopus databases from inception until May 2023.

Introduction: The 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) are valid tools for gait performance and mobility assessment after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The study aimed to assess test-retest reliability of 10MWT and TUG in indoor and outdoor environments in patients in acute phase after THA and compare their indoor vs. outdoor performance during these tests.
