Three-dimensional differences in plantar surface shape captured by methods used for custom accommodative insole design.
J Foot Ankle Res

Background: The patient-specific shape of custom accommodative insoles for individuals with diabetes provides full foot-to-insole contact, offloading areas with high plantar pressures and reducing ulceration risk. To design the insole surface, plantar surface shape is captured, traditionally with a foam crush box impression or more recently with 3D scans of the foot. Beyond discrete measurements of the foot, the overall plantar surface shapes obtained from these different methods have yet to be compared, however, differences in the shapes captured by these methods may affect the insole's surface geometry design and subsequent performance.

Introduction: In sports, 80% of all ankle injuries are sprains of the external compartment. Functional bandages are usually used preventively, specially in individuals with a history of lateral ankle injuries. To this day, the actual benefits of such taping remain unknown as important modifications are introduced in the ankle biomechanics.

Background: Although transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) has been suggested as a safe and feasible intervention for gait rehabilitation, no studies have determined its effectiveness compared to sham stimulation.
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of tSCS combined with robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) on lower limb muscle strength and walking function in incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) participants.
Methods: A randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical trial was conducted.
Flexible and wireless metasurface coils for knee and elbow MRI.

Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany.
Background: Metasurface coils (MCs) are a promising magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. Aiming to evaluate the image quality of MCs for knee and elbow imaging, we compared signal-to-noise ratio (SNRs) obtained in standard clinical setups.
Methods: Knee and elbow MRI routine sequences were applied at 1.

Arterial ulcers are a clinical symptom of a complex array of underlying comorbid factors, namely peripheral artery disease (PAD). Chronic limb-threatening ischemia is representative of end-stage PAD. Ulcers of other etiologies can carry an arterial component, mandating recognition of risk factors, a comprehensive history and physical examination, and appropriate diagnostic testing in lower extremity ulcers.
