BACKGROUND The VICON Toolkit enables three-dimensional (3D) motion capture for gait analysis. Statistical parametric mapping (SPM) is a voxel-based neuroimaging approach used to identify region-specific effects. This study aimed to apply SPM to analyze the joint angles of the hip, knee, and ankle during gait in 20 post-stroke patients using the VICON motion capture system.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), which typically occurs in patients between the ages of 10 and 18, can be caused by a variety of reasons, and no definitive cause has been found. Early diagnosis of AIS or timely recognition of progression is crucial for the prevention of spinal deformity and the reduction of the risk of surgery or postponement. However, it remains a significant challenge.

Purpose: Previous studies reported that anterior knee pain (AKP) occurs with an incidence of 32% after opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). However, the biomechanical effects of this procedure on patellofemoral joints (PFJs) remain unclear. We aimed to quantify the changes in the kinematics and cartilage conditions of the PFJ during stair climbing before and after OWHTO.

Scaffolds play a crucial role in tendon healing by providing structural support, promoting cell infiltration, and guiding tissue regeneration. Polycaprolactone (PCL) has been used as a polymer in biological scaffolds for several tissue engineering studies. This study aimed to investigate the effects of curcumin-loaded PCL scaffold on Achilles tendon using a tenotomy model in rats.

Introduction: Calcific tendonitis is characterized by calcium hydroxyapatite crystal deposition in tendons, leading to inflammation and pain. While predominantly observed in the rotator cuff tendons of the shoulder, its occurrence in the rectus femoris tendon of the hip is exceedingly rare and poses a diagnostic challenge.
Case Report: A 38-year-old female housewife presented with a 1-month history of left hip pain, which was dull, aching, and exacerbated by movements such as standing and walking.
