Background: The aim of this study is to explore the changes in ground reaction force (GRF) produced by custom-made weight-bearing and nonweight-bearing foot orthoses and by a prefabricated foot orthosis, in the control of the pronated foot.
Methods: Thirty-nine participants were recruited. All were in good health, aged 18 to 25 years, and presented pronated foot. Three different types of foot orthosis were studied: prefabricated, weight-bearing, and nonweight-bearing.
Results: No significant differences were observed in the phases of the gait cycle between the prefabricated, the weight-bearing, and the nonweight-bearing foot orthoses.
Conclusions: Neither prefabricated insoles nor custom-made orthoses (weight-bearing or nonweight-bearing) modified GRF.

With the growth in road transport volume and increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the use of lightweight dump trucks not only reduces fuel consumption but also enhances transport efficiency, aligning with the principles of green development. It has now become a key focus in the field of heavy-duty vehicle research. The carriage is located at the rear of the dump truck, connected to the chassis, and serves as the box for carrying cargo, making its strength and durability crucial.

Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the effectiveness of 6 different types of commercially available prefabricated orthotic insoles on how pressure is distributed in the feet, particularly focusing on healthy individuals.
- - Using in-shoe dynamic pressure measurements, researchers found that insoles designed with heel cups and specific arch shapes increased contact area and reduced peak pressure in critical foot regions.
- - The findings suggest that these prefabricated insoles can help alleviate lower-body muscle stress for individuals who spend a lot of time on their feet, highlighting their practical benefits.

Aim: Distal tibial injuries combining bone loss, articular destruction and infection can be treated through distraction osteogenesis combined with ankle fusion. Bone transport is not without complications. This study investigates our preliminary results using a retrograde prefabricated gentamicin-coated nail (ETN PROtect®) to treat complications after infected bone defects of the distal tibial were managed by ankle arthrodesis and distraction osteogenesis.

Injectable bone substitute (IBS) materials are commonly used to fill irregular-shaped bone voids in non-load-bearing areas and can offer greater utility over those which are in prefabricated powder, granule, or block forms. This work investigates the impact of liquid-to-solid ratio (LSR) on the rheology and cytocompatibility of IBSs formulated from bioactive glass particles and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) in glycerol and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). IBS formulations of varying LSR were prepared and packed in 3 cc open-bore syringes and sterilized via gamma irradiation (10 kGy, 25 kGy).

This study aimed to evaluate the fatigue performance of simplified ceramic restorations (leucite-reinforced glass ceramic) adhesively cemented onto substrates of different resin composites. Three options from the same commercial line were selected (Tetric N-Line, Ivoclar), classified as Conventional (CRC), Bulk-fill (BRC) and Flowable (FRC), which were used to make discs using a cylindrical metallic device (n = 19; Ø = 10 mm, thickness = 2.0 mm).
