Characterizing the vestibular control of balance in the intrinsic foot muscles.
Gait Posture

School of Health and Exercise Sciences, The University of British Columbia Okanagan, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Electronic address:
Background: To maintain standing balance, vestibular cues are processed and integrated with other sensorimotor signals to produce appropriate motor adjustments. Whole-body vestibular-driven postural responses are context-dependent and transformed based upon head and foot posture. Previous reports indicate the importance of intrinsic foot muscles during standing, but it is unclear how vestibular-driven responses of these muscles are modulated by alterations in stability and head posture.

Introduction: Prior analysis of children with grade 3 and 4 congenital hydronephrosis demonstrated that renal medullary pyramidal thickness (PT) is predictive of subsequent pyeloplasty (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.78). The objective of this study was to further analyze the utility of sonographic measurements including PT, anteroposterior pelvic diameter (APD), and renal length with an expansion of the number of infants with hydronephrotic kidneys including grades 2, 3, and 4 hydronephrosis.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the sensorimotor function in patients with unilateral chronic ankle instability (CAI) and compare their abilities to healthy controls, focusing on sensory reweighting and vestibular modulation.
- Twenty individuals with unilateral CAI and twenty healthy participants underwent various tests to evaluate ankle proprioception, plantar sensation, balance, and motor control, using a mix of analyses to compare the groups.
- Results indicated that those with CAI had increased sensory thresholds for light touch and two-point discrimination bilaterally, moderate deficits in certain motor control measures, and showed postural instability in balance tests when compared to healthy controls.
Postural balance impairment following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in the early postoperative period: a prospective cohort study.
BMC Sports Sci Med Rehabil

Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, School of Medicine, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey.
Background: For patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery (RCR), it is crucial to prevent falls to minimize the risk of re-tearing the repaired muscles. Shoulder immobilization during the postoperative period may lead to a decline in postural balance. This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the postural balance of patients in the early postoperative period following arthroscopic RCR.

Article Synopsis
- Knee pain often involves varus deformity and unicompartmental osteoarthritis, where high tibial valgus osteotomy (HTO) has emerged as an effective treatment option to delay joint replacement.
- A case report highlighted two patients with bilateral knee arthritis who underwent medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy using Dr. Saigal's plate, both achieving good range of motion and minimal complications post-surgery.
- Comprehensive evaluations, including radiological assessments and specific surgical techniques like the Miniaci Method, were employed to ensure successful outcomes, with both patients showing significant improvement after one year.
