The authors present the case of a six-year-old boy with a fractured right distal radius and ulna, causing mildly comminuted displaced angulated fractures of the right distal radial and ulnar metaphyses. Pediatric wrist fractures are amongst the most common fractures seen in children, making up 25% of all pediatric fractures. These fractures disrupt growth patterns and can lead to long-term adverse effects.

Trampolines are recognized as a valuable tool in exercise and rehabilitation due to their unique properties like elasticity, rebound force, low-impact exercise, and enhancement of posture, balance, and cardiopulmonary function. To quantitatively assess the effects of trampoline exercises, it is essential to estimate factors such as stiffness, elements influencing jump dynamics, and user safety. Previous studies assessing trampoline characteristics had limitations in performing repetitive experiments at various locations on the trampoline.

Objectives: Trampolines are an important cause of childhood injury and focus of injury prevention. Understanding and prevention of trampoline park injury is constrained by inadequate exposure data to estimate the at-risk population. This study aimed to measure trampoline park injury incidence and time trends using industry data.

An electromechanical interface plays a pivotal role in determining the performance of a stretchable strain sensor. The intrinsic mechanical property of the elastomer substrate prevents the efficient modulation of the electromechanical interface, which limits the further evolution of a stretchable strain sensor. In this study, a chiral auxetic metamaterial (CAM) is incorporated into the elastomer substrate of a stretchable strain sensor to override the deformation behavior of the pristine device and regulate the device performance.

: Home-based training exercise gained popularity during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic era. Mini-trampoline exercise (MTE) is a home-based exercise that utilizes rebound force generated from the trampoline net and the motion of the joints of the lower extremities. It is known to be beneficial for improving postural balance, stability, muscle strength and coordination, bone strength, and overall health.
