Background: Plexiform schwannoma (PS) is a rare, peripheral nerve sheath tumor arranged in a plexiform pattern.
Case Presentation: We report an unusual case of a 19-year-old woman, who complained of pain in the plantar aspect of the left foot. Magnetic resonance image (MRI) demonstrates three solitary nodules of varying sizes in the deep soft tissue of the plantar aspect of the foot that are homogeneously isointense to skeletal muscle on T1-weighted images and hyperintense on T2-weighted fat-suppressed images, especially the rim of the lesion. Subsequent pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of PS.
Conclusion: MRI characteristic plays an important role in detecting this rare lesion. A review of the literature on PS is also presented.

Background: An all-inside endoscopic flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer is indicated for the treatment of chronic, full-thickness Achilles tendon defects. The aim of this procedure is to restore function of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex while avoiding the wound complications associated with open procedures.
Description: This procedure can be performed through 2 endoscopic portals, a posteromedial portal (the working portal) and a posterolateral portal (the visualization portal).

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) can have more pronounced effects on joint position sense (JPS) accuracy and gait characteristics. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between lower limb JPS and different aspects of gait pattern including gait asymmetry and variability and spatiotemporal coordination in individuals with bilateral KOA. In this cross-sectional study, lower limb JPS of 43 individuals with bilateral KOA (mild and moderate) were measured.

Plantar psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, typically characterized by erythematous plaques with thick silvery scales localized on the soles. This condition can significantly impair patients' quality of life, particularly through pain and mobility challenges. It is considered a subtype of plaque psoriasis but presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its specific location.

Background: Autonomic dysfunction is a well-recognized complication associated with post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS). ANS maladaptation could underlie a potential pathogenetic mechanism of PCS, contributing to PCS symptoms. However, there remains an ongoing debate regarding whether autonomic and neuropathic symptoms observed in PCS patients are indicative of central or peripheral ANS pathology.

The capability to achieve fast motion in varying road conditions is a crucial research aspect in the dynamic control of quadruped robot. In this study, a gait parameters planning system for quadruped robot based on virtual model controller (VMC) and fuzzy neural network controller (FNNC) is proposed. According to the expert knowledge, the FNNC is designed to help optimize the parameters in the central pattern generator and virtual model controller (CPG-VMC).
