Loaded Open Kinetic Chain Exercises Caused More Anterior Tibial Translation and Anteromedial Graft Elongation Than Closed Kinetic Chain Following Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
J Sport Rehabil
January 2025
School of Exercise and Health, Shanghai University of Sport, Shanghai, China.
Context: To further improve rehabilitation programs while preventing overstretching the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a thorough understanding of the knee kinematics and ACL length change during closed kinetic chain and open kinetic chain (OKC) exercises is essential. The measurement of ACL graft length relates to the changes in strain experienced by the ACL graft during different types of exercises rather than simple physical length.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effects of closed kinetic chain and OKC exercises on tibiofemoral kinematics and ACL graft length changes following double-bundle ACL reconstruction.
Measurement of plantar pressure differences in the contralateral limb when using offloading modalities for diabetic foot ulcerations.
J Foot Ankle Res
March 2025
The University of South Australia, Allied Health & Human Performance Unit, Adelaide, SA, Australia.
Background: This study investigated the effect of various offloading devices commonly used for the management of diabetic foot ulcerations on peak plantar pressure and pressure-time integral of the contralateral limb.
Methods: A quantitative, randomised and within-subject repeated measures study was conducted in an outpatient gait laboratory. Outpatients with unilateral diabetic foot ulcers and adequate perfusion to the lower limb without an intrinsic limb-length discrepancy who were able to walk were recruited for the study.
Influence of hip morphology on gluteal muscle biomechanics: a computational modeling study.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute, 2001 Vail Ave, Charlotte, NC, USA.
Background: Hip morphology variations, particularly in femoral neck shaft angle (NSA) and iliac wing width (IWW), have been associated with gluteal tendinopathy. However, the biomechanical implications of these morphological differences on gluteal muscle function are not well understood. This study investigates how NSA and IWW influence gluteal muscle forces, moment arms, and estimated tendon loads during walking, aiming to provide insights into the potential biomechanical pathways that may contribute to altered lateral hip loading patterns.

Department of Kinesiology, College of Natural Science, Jeju National University, Jeju, Korea.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of weight- and non-weight-bearing exercises on the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor rating scale, corticospinal axon regrowth and regeneration-related proteins following spinal cord injury (SCI). Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group (n=6), SCI+sedentary group (SED, n=6), SCI+treadmill exercise group (TREAD, n=6), and SCI+swimming exercise group (SWIM, n=6). All rats in the SCI group were given the rest for 2 weeks after SCI, and then they were allowed to engage in low-intensity exercise for 6 weeks on treadmill device.

Orthopaedic Surgery, National Hospital Organization, Osaka Minami Medical Center, Kawachinagano, JPN.
Background: According to the conventional postoperative procedure after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) for end-stage osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), mobilization and weight-bearing are currently started after completion of wound healing. Recently, an early rehabilitation program after cemented TAA with a modified anterolateral approach has been attempted because this approach could provide stable wound healing. To investigate the possibility of expediting rehabilitation, this study evaluated the feasibility, safety, and universality of an early rehabilitation program after cemented TAA using a modified anterolateral approach, even when a surgeon was completely changed.
