Three-Dimensional Gait Analysis of School-Age Children With Angelman Syndrome: A Case-Control Study.
Am J Med Genet A
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan.
Gait disturbance is a common motor symptom in Angelman syndrome (AS), but its characteristics have been poorly studied quantitatively. This study aimed to analyze gait characteristics in school-age children with AS using three-dimensional gait analysis (3DGA). Patients with clinically and genetically confirmed AS and healthy children aged 6-15 years were included.

January 2025
Laboratory of Optometry and Vision Sciences, West China School of Medicine, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China; Department of Optometry and Vision Sciences, West China School of Medicine, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Objective: To investigate changes in corneal astigmatism (curvatures and corneal sagittal height difference (C-sagDiff) at 8-mm chord) after temporary discontinuation from long-term spherical and toric orthokeratology (ortho-k) lens wear in a Chinese population.
Methods: Relevant data were retrieved from 110 patients (55 wearing spherical ortho-k lenses, 55 wearing toric ortho-k lenses) who have been undergoing ortho-k treatment for at least one year and stopped lens wear temporarily for scheduled lens replacement. The topographic and refraction data at baseline and post-discontinuation was collected for all the patients.
Enhanced Foot Proprioception Through 3-Minute Walking Bouts with Ultra-Minimalist Shoes on Surfaces That Mimic Highly Rugged Natural Terrains.
Biomimetics (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Perugia, 06132 Perugia, Italy.
The use of minimalist shoes can lead to enhanced foot somatosensory activation and postural stability but can also increase the incidence of overuse injuries during high-impact or prolonged activities. Therefore, it appears useful to explore new strategies that employ minimalist shoes to effectively facilitate the somatosensory activation of the foot while minimizing acute and cumulative joint stress and risk of injury. To this purpose, this study introduces a novel exercise paradigm: walking for three minutes in ultra-minimalist shoes on artificial flat surfaces designed to mimic highly rugged natural terrains.

Knee
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Showa University Fujigaoka Hospital, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the morphology of the distal medial femoral surface during coronal osteotomy in medial closed wedge distal femoral varus osteotomy (MCWDFO) using plain CT.
Methods: Twenty knees (mean age, 55.3 years) were included.
Characteristics of corneal aberration in patients with bilateral keratoconus and unilateral corneal Vogt's striae.
Int J Ophthalmol
December 2024
Shaanxi Eye Hospital, Xi'an People's Hospital (Xi'an Fourth Hospital), Affiliated People's Hospital of Northwest University, Xi'an 710004, Shaanxi Province, China.
Aim: To assess the corneal high-order aberration (HOA) and its correlation with corneal morphological parameters in patients with bilateral keratoconus (KCN) and unilateral Vogt's striae.
Methods: A total of 168 eyes of 84 patients with KCN, whose corneas had definite signs of unilateral Vogt's striae, were enrolled. Corneal HOA and morphological parameters were measured using Pentacam HR.
