The results of operative treatment of 8 patients was analyzed, in whom the lower extremity amputation on the upper third of the shin was performed for severe stage of the ischemic foot contacture. Operative interventions is expedient to perform in a specialized stationary, were exists possibility of further prosthesis. It is necessary to perform the extremity amputation in a residual period of the foot ischemic contracture, when operations for restoration of the sole sensitivity are nonperspective as well as in presence of severe trophic disorders on the sole and the shin, but without purulent--necrotic signs. Confirmed data of clinic--instrumental investigations for chronic course of the ischemic process constitutes an absolute indication for operation.

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.

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.

Subdermal contraceptive implants are now commonly used throughout the world. One of the rare complications of these implants is migration to the lungs due to misplacement of the implant during insertion, with only a limited number of cases documented. Here, we present a case where a subdermal contraceptive implant embolised in the subsegmental branch of the pulmonary artery within the anterobasal segment of the left lower lobe.

Recording and quantifying hand and finger movement is essential for understanding the neuromechanical control of the hand. Typically, kinematics are collected through marker-based optoelectronic motion capture systems. However, marker-based systems are time-consuming to setup, expensive, and cumbersome, especially for finger tracking.
